In the heart of the most exuberant Palermo, an elegant liberty residence is converted to a hotel. Hotel Joli is a true jewel as far as hospitality is concerned, where rooms adorned with frescoes and the finest decor as well as the most modern services and comfort, provide the traveler the most delightful of stays.
Exactly 500 meters from the hotel, in Piazza Ruggero Settimo, one can admire the Neoclassical Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, with the grand arch and the spectacular bronze quadriga on the facade. Opened in 1891 it is the second of Palermo, the first one being the Teatro Massimo of Piazza Verdi, at 600 metres from the Hotel. Inaugurated in 1897, a few years after Politeama, it soon became the hub of artistic and mundane Palermo life, making the city one of the most lively European centres for its cultural and commercial endeavors. Take note of the typical liberty kiosks found across the theatre, with the Vicari on the right and on the left Ribaudo. Always close to the Hotel Joli, at 400 meters, is located the very refined Villa Withaker or Villa Malfitano; built in 1889, which to this day is surrounded by a magnificent lush garden. The oldest part of Palermo is on the east side of the city and here you must pay a visit to the many attractions and museums.
