The Belmond Grand Hotel couldn’t be better located – in the heart of the city of Taormina, high up in the hills on the east coast of Sicily, overlooking the mighty volcano Etna, the sea and the Greek Theatre. To put it in a nutshell, the Belmond Grand Hotel is “the first hotel on the square”, as one would say. Surrounded by a park of about 25.000 sqm, it still sprays with classical elegance. The rooms are also reminiscent of the elegance of bygone days and include Italian finesse à la marble bathrooms and Sicilian ceramics. Those who really want to have a good time should definitely book a room with a sea view – a dream. No wonder that many literary greats have already used this hotel as a retreat for months.
