The Hotel Ucciardhome combines historic charm and modern style in a central location within walking distance of many attractions, shops, and restaurants. There are antique stone arches in the lobby, brickwork in the rooms, and minimalist yet modern design in the inviting rooms. Lovely tile floors and contemporary furniture decorate the rooms, but the bathrooms -- which huge walk-in showers and rainfall showerheads -- are the standout feature. Some rooms also have skylights and balconies. The property is pet-friendly (only small pets allowed) and there is free Wi-Fi, but only in public areas. A free breakfast receives good reviews and the free indoor parking is great for downtown. However, some feel uncomfortable that the hotel is located across the street from a prison.
Scene
A historic yet modern downtown hotel
From the front entryway to the bathrooms, traditional architecture mixes with modern accents at the Hotel Ucciardhome. The lobby is home to original stone arches, a minimalist brown leather couch, and serene white walls. Beautiful historic photos decorate the walls of the breakfast room and the authentic wood on the ceiling adds character and charm. There’s also a chandelier in the breakfast room and -- despite lacking windows -- the area is bright and cozy. A small garden provides some outdoor space for summer dining and there’s free coffee, tea, and newspapers. This hotel does an excellent job of incorporating antique heritage with contemporary style, resulting in a stylish and peaceful atmosphere.
Location
In the historic district near restaurants, shops, and attractions
The Hotel Ucciardhome is in the historic district of Palermo and is within walking distance to many attractions, restaurants, and shops, including a great pizza place next door, the English Garden, and Piazza Politeama. There is a prison across the street, but many guests report that the area nonetheless feels very safe. The Regional Gallery, Teatro Massimo, and Cathedral of Palermo are under a 10-minute drive away, but public transportation can get you to any sights around Palermo.
Rooms
Modern, simple rooms with lovely tile bathrooms and walk-in showers
Soundproofed rooms at this hotel are attractive and modern with antique pieces added in. The lovely brown tile, gold bed accents, and vintage wooden artwork combine modern and vintage style; some rooms have skylights and original brickwork. Air-conditioning, CD players, minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free newspapers are in all rooms, and magazines are available by request. Several rooms have nice balconies and jetted tubs as well. Even though most bathrooms only have walk-in showers, they are extraordinary with gorgeous tile, rainfall showerheads, and colored mood lighting. Each bathroom has a different color of tile, but all are large, contemporary, and well designed. Heated towel racks, bidets, and L’Occitane amenities are in all bathrooms.
