Palazzo Cavalieri
Syracuse
A historic palace in the heart of Syracuse
Hotel Palazzo Cavalieri is a 19th-century noble residence transformed into a boutique hotel by the Lo Manto family — architects and owners — who chose to preserve the soul of the place instead of hiding it.
Exposed stone, vaulted ceilings, original arches: the palace has remained true to itself, and every stay carries a piece of this history with it.
Just a few steps from the island of Ortigia, in the historic center of Syracuse, it is the ideal starting point for discovering one of the most extraordinary cities in the Mediterranean — without haste, with all the comfort of a four-star hotel attentive to every detail.
Between the blue of the sea and the soul of Ortigia

The location that makes the difference
The island of Ortigia is just 250 meters from the hotel — a five-minute walk across the pedestrian bridge that separates the modern city from the ancient island. Baroque alleys, honey-colored palaces, squares overlooking the sea: one of the most beautiful historic centers in Italy, a UNESCO World Heritage site, within walking distance from the moment you leave your bags in your room.
The Temple of Apollo, the Cathedral, the Fountain of Arethusa — everything within a one-kilometer radius. The perfect place to start each morning to discover Syracuse, and to return to each evening with a story to tell.

An unforgettable experience. I stayed at the Hotel dei Cavalieri in Syracuse for work with some colleagues, and I must say it is a perfectly suited place—quiet, friendly staff, all professional and smiling. The breakfast service was excellent.

Every room
has its own Story
Six room types designed for different needs: for those traveling as a couple, as a family, or looking for something extra. Curated spaces, precise details, and an atmosphere that changes from room to room while never losing the character of the historic palace.
Hospitality you can feel
and remember
There are stays that end and stays that remain. The difference, often, lies in what is not immediately visible: in the attention, in the way guests are cared for. In the extra gesture that no one asked for, in the answer given before the question was even formulated. At Hotel Palazzo Cavalieri Syracuse, hospitality is not a service; it is the way we work every single day.

Syracuse awaits you
Every experience begins here
Syracuse is a city that cannot be fully uncovered in just one stay. Every visit leaves something unfinished: an alley left to explore, a sunset to watch from the sea, a dish left to taste.
Hotel Palazzo Cavalieri is the starting point from which all of this becomes easier to experience, and harder to forget.
