Unlike most 4 star hotels in the region of Catania,
the Grand Hotel Excelsior is actually in the heart
of the beautiful and historical city center, giving
you direct access to a stunning and breathtaking world
of history and culture right here on the doorstep
of your 4 star accommodation.
The coast is only 2km away from the Hotel Excelsior
and can be reached shortly via a leisurely stroll
or by one of our drivers. In addition, you’ll
notice the grand and formidable shape of Mount Etna
looming over the city wherever you tread. Tours of
Europe’s largest active volcano leave at around
9.00am and can be arranged easily by the hotel staff.
As you can see from the Google map above, we’re
in the city center of Catania about half way between
the coast and Via Etnea, the city’s spinal main
street. If you’d like to arrange a competitively
priced transfer in the of one of our own vehicles
please let us know when you Book
Online. We can pick you up from Catania
Fontanarossa International Airport, from Catania Train
Station (an ordinary taxi will cost €10), or
from the harbor if you’re arriving by boat.
If you’re coming from mainland Italy, you can
either book an internal flight or take the train –
an overnight service runs the length of the country
and arrives in Catania around 8.00am. Use our Useful
Links page as a resource for travelling
around Italy. |
