Hotel Joli, located in the heart of Palermo, is easily accessed from the train station , from the port, the airport and the motorways. Indeed, it is located at the corner of Piazza Ignazio Florio, only a few steps from the city's most important cultural, tourism and commercial points of interest. Hotel Joli is found in the middle of Palermo Liberty, where ever since the mid 1800s all the way to the first decades of the 1900s, and thanks to economic and cultural revival, great theatres, public gardens, music stages, kiosks, etc. were built as well as new elegant neighborhoods along Via Libertà and Via Notarbartolo.
Exactly 500 meters from the hotel, in Piazza Ruggero Settimo, one can admire the Neoclassical Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, with the grand arch and the spectacular bronze quadriga on the facade. Opened in 1891 it is the second of Palermo, the first one being the Teatro Massimo of Piazza Verdi, at 600 metres from the Hotel. Inaugurated in 1897, a few years after Politeama, it soon became the hub of artistic and mundane Palermo life, making the city one of the most lively European centres for its cultural and commercial endeavors. Take note of the typical liberty kiosks found across the theatre, with the Vicari on the right and on the left Ribaudo. Always close to the Hotel Joli, at 400 meters, is located the very refined Villa Withaker or Villa Malfitano; built in 1889, which to this day is surrounded by a magnificent lush garden. The oldest part of Palermo is on the east side of the city and here you must pay a visit to the many attractions and museums.
