Grand Hotel Yachting Palace  

On Sicily’s eastern coast in Riposto, minutes from the beach and overlooking the Bay of Taormina. A quick 15-minute drive gets you to Mount Etna and Porto dell'Etna, with Giardini Naxos and Isola Bella within easy reach. Pet-friendly and seaside‑close for lovers of fresh air and views.

Housed in a restored citrus‑oil factory, the hotel blends industrial bones with elegant finishes across two buildings. The main building has a roomy lobby, the Transatlantic restaurant and a panoramic terrace; the annex faces a park and an outdoor pool with hydromassage. Sixty‑six air‑conditioned rooms feature minibars, flat‑screen TVs with satellite, private bathrooms with bidets and hair dryers, safes and desks, and some rooms enjoy bay views.

Soak in the outdoor pool or the whirlpool, or take in the skyline from the rooftop terrace and solarium — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings. Concierge and tour desk help you book local excursions. On‑site parking, elevator access, laundry and dry‑cleaning services keep stays easy and light.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property keeps you connected. Luggage storage and a safe‑deposit box add convenience for working travelers.

Transatlantic restaurant and an on‑site bar serve regional and national dishes crafted by experienced chefs with Sicilian touches. A snack bar/deli is available, and a complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning from 7:00–10:00.
