About
Our history
Trinacria Marina Apartment, located in a noble context in the heart of Palermo, has a fascinating history that dates back to the first decades of the nineteenth century. Originally built as the city's first hotel, the building was designed in 1840 by architects Andrea Gigante and Vincenzo Trombetta for the Prince of Trabia. The transcription placed above the entrance still recalls this illustrious origin today. Located above the Captive Walls, the building overlooks the current Foro Italico, once the Bourbon Forum.
A historic building
Inaugurated in 1844, the hotel welcomed illustrious guests, including the King of Bavaria. Its facade boasts two commemorative plaques commemorating the visits of Giuseppe Garibaldi and the Romanian patriot Nicola Balcescu. This building, full of history, offers visitors not only a comfortable stay but also a journey into the past, immersed in a context of great historical and cultural value. The attention to architectural details and its rich history make the structure one of a kind.
The Charm of Trinacria Marina Apartment
Our apartment is part of a building that inspired the famous writer Tomasi di Lampedusa, who set the last hours of Prince Salina's life here in his novel "The Leopard". Our mission is to offer our guests not only quality accommodation, but an immersive experience in the history and culture of Palermo. With a breathtaking view of the Foro Italico and an atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity, Trinacria Marina Apartment is the ideal place for an unforgettable stay.
