The 19-room mid-range Artemisia Palace Hotel offers elegant, stylish rooms in the busy heart of Palermo, within a 10-minute walk of the city’s historic port and Castellammare neighborhood. The hotel’s historic setting feels grand and elegant while maintaining a boutique hotel vibe and guest rooms have a contemporary, minimalist style, though street noise may be an issue for light sleepers in many rooms (especially ones with charming Juliet balconies). Guests looking to stay in the Albergheria area closer to the cathedral may want to try Centrale Palace Hotel for similarly historic rooms, though prices can be higher.

Although its limited amenities primarily target business travelers, Mercure Palermo Centro is a good option for value-conscious leisure travelers who don't mind a lack of frills. The main draw of the hotel is its location: It's right near the old neighborhood and within walking distance to many of Palermo's top sights, as well as the harbor for those who are going onward via ferry. The 93 rooms are standard mid-range, chain-hotel fare, with air-conditioning, minibars, and flat-screen TVs. Breakfast is included and offers both continental and Sicilian options. It's worth checking out the similarly priced Ambasciatori Hotel, which has a city center location and rooftop restaurant with gorgeous panoramic views.

The three-room La Libert' Bed and Breakfast is a humble, but comfortable choice for a budget stay in Palermo. Located next to Piazza Ruggero Settimo, the tiny property is central to many of city’s major sites, as well as numerous shopping, dining, and drinking options. Set inside a typical apartment building, the dreary entrance fails to hint at the light-filled penthouse that awaits on the top floor. Though simple in decor, La Libertà has been well updated and maintained, and offers rooms with modest but modern features. Two of the three rooms have private bathrooms, and all have access to the quiet rooftop terrace. A simple daily breakfast can be served in rooms or up on the roof. As an alternative, Palazzo Pantaleo B&B has larger rooms and is within walking distance to Teatro Massimo.
