OUR OPINION 

If someone were to ask what is "the" square of Palermo, the answer would almost certainly be Piazza Castelnuovo and this is exactly where you will find the Hotel Opera Plaza.

Here everything is at hand, Viale della Libertà, Teatro Politeama, the Teatro Massimo, the pedestrian zone of Via Belmonte, offices and banks, restaurants, even the bus stop to the airport is just few meters.

But the merits of the Plaza Operà are not only these.        

Opened in 2006, the hotel offers the best you can ask in terms of design and comfort.

Furniture, paintings, engravings and antiques blend in modern  and minimalist lines, a mix that together with the play of light gives the hotel a distinctive charm.
  

  • Bar lounge
  • Buffet breakfast with a selection of organic products on offer

The Plaza Opera is a hotel that combines the traditional Sicilian hospitality with a look and a cosmopolitan spirit.

The Hotel Plaza Opera is located in the heart of the Palermo's financial and shopping district, a few steps from the Avenue of Liberty and the art galleries and theaters district, it is surrounded by the best restaurants and wine bar of this intriguing Mediterranean capital.

The variety and the quality of theatrical and cinema offerings are without doubt the strong points of the winter events in Palermo.

There is also a splendid summer programme called 'Palermo di Scena', which offers films and plays as well as nature and photography exhibitions, and concerts (both classical and non), all of which are hosted in some of the most beautiful, ancient villas in Palermo, such as Villa Trabia, Villa Filippina and Villa Lampedusa.

The theatrical tradition in Palermo has always been very rich and diverse, a mixture of Arabic, Norman, French and Spanish cultures.

Street theatre that is performed today, such as the typical vastasata, still reflects Sicilian cabaret and folklore, while the Teatro dei Pupi (puppet theatre) remains faithful to its ancient roots.

The theatre scene is varied in summer and winter, and the programmes offered by Teatro Massimo and Teatro Politeama stand out amongs the rest, these being the two main theatres in the Sicilian capital.
