Stayed for 5 nights at this lovely hotel. Smallish room but with luxury bathroom with bath/shower and 2 basins. All very clean and quiet. Delicious breakfasts with lots of choice. The staff are very attentive but not at all stuffy. Very friendly in fact. The hotel is fairly well situated within 5minutes walk if the main shopping street and many... More

Stayed for a week at fully booked hotel with my husband. It was our first time at Sicily and I'm glad that we had no negative impressions at all. Located just a short walk away from the Main Street, from Greek theatre and from the cableway. Reception was very warm, very good breakfast, rooms have everything you need (maybe it... More

When I booked this, my single fear was that it might be a bit too pretentious and clinical - with staff to match. On the contrary, the staff were absolutely brilliant - and in the nicest, easiest way. They really made a difference to our enjoyment. The room was lovely - and amazing bathroom. The view is lovely, though probably... More

This hotel is spectacular - tucked in the windy roads of Taormina, we didn't realise quite how close we were to the main town but it's only a 2 minute walk. The streets are buzzing until the early hours, with gelato at every corner - yummy! My wonderful fiance proposed to me on our holiday here, the staff were very... More

Beautiful hotel with amazing rooms. The staff were incredibly helpful. The pool on the roof terrace has amazing views. The spa treatments were very good. I can't think of a single thing that I would have changed here.

This hotel is one of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in and really enjoyed it. The room was clean and very comfortable; the staff were incredibly lovely, helpful and spoke English very well. Its excellent value for money. The complimentary breakfast in the mornings was really good! The location made it so easy to get around in Taormina... More

My (75 year old) parents, my sister, and I stayed here in Sept 2012 for 7 nights in 3 deluxe sea-viewrooms - high above the coast - and the panoramic views of the Med. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food great - breakfast was particularly good value and the other meals could not really be faulted either.... More

This was our second visit to this hotel. Taormina is a beautiful place and the hotel has a lot of positive aspects: very centrally located ,big rooms ,small balconies with outstanding views ,a small but nice pool. Yet ,I did recognise the same bad behaviours as two years ago: a very "invasive" attitude of the housekeeping ,do not respect the... More

We were relocated here after the hotel we had booked was closed earlier in the season than anticipated. I think we landed on our feet - great location, nice view from the rooms small balcony, and very friendly but discreet staff. Breakfast was good, and parking very convenient but a bit expensive at €25/day. Very easy access to main town... More

Imperiale is a really chic and "young" hotel. And the staff there is really nice too. They helped with anything we needed. Also, the breakfast in the morning is really good so be sure to go down there. The location is perfect! This hotel is literally steps away from all of the shopping and restaurants in Taormina. We'd definitely stay... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Myths of classic Greece, the Sicilian sea, Saracen and Norman echoes reflecting on the snowy slopes of Mount Etna. Day after day, the silence, colours, light and the aromas of Taormina relate infinite pages of stories, legends and traditions. An exploration of trees and sunsets, starry nights, timeless moments in the exclusive setting of the Hotel Imperiale. Stroll up to Hotel Imperiale through the streets of the historic centre of Taormina; through the scent of wisteria and the colour of bougainvillea. The position of the building, standing above the roofs of the town, provides an exceptional panorama, with the Greek Theatre in the foreground and the sea, from Capo S. Alessio to the Bay of Naxos in the near distance. A short walk away you will find Corso Umberto, Taormina’s exclusive promenade, which has seen a host of celebrities make this small part of Paradise famous throughout the world: Maupassant, Goethe, Oscar Wilde, Vittorio De Sica, Sophia Loren, Gregory Peck, Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, Rita Hayworth and Liz Taylor. The magic of Taormina has beguiled many film directors over the years into setting their films here. Still today the world of cinema keeps its appointment every year for the Taormina Film Festival. Located in the heart of Taormina's historic centre, close to Corso Umberto I and the Palacongressi (home of the International film Festival), the historic Hotel Imperiale was built at the beginning of the 20th century and reopened in 2009 after restructuring works. The design and the restructuring has been carried out in full observance of the styles and local materials, such as the widely used volcanic stone, and has been adapted to modern requirements, in line with the philosophy of all hotels of the Exclusive Hotel Collection. The 63 rooms and suites enjoy Brazilian rosewood furniture, in colours reminiscent of the warmth of Sicily, its mosaics, ceramics and volcanic stone. The exclusive Pool and Terrace Suites boast a solarium or private terrace with a private outdoor spa bath and steam room. A panoramic outdoor pool and a Roof Garden treat guests to stunning views. This luxury 5 star hotel offers an exclusive 260 m² SPA with 5 CARITA and DECLEOR treatment rooms, the Anfiteatro restaurant with VIP room, serving traditional Sicilian dishes, the Pool Bar and a 200 seat conference hall making it an ideal place for important events and special occasions. ... more   less
