The Idea Hotel Palermo is located five miles from the city center and the Santa Maria di Monreale Cathedral and approximately 18 miles from Falcone Borsellino (Puntaraisi) Airport. The old city center from Via Vittorio Emanuele to Via Maqueda, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, is where all of Palermo's monuments are located. Almost all the buildings from the Norman Era, from the Palazzo dei Normanni to the cathedral, were built on top of earlier Arab palaces and mosques. At the Quattro Canti, you can visit Renaissance Palermo and you can then proceed to visit the Baroque Palermo. Hotel amenities include the cocktail lounge and restaurant. The hotel also offers room service, valet laundry service, and a concierge. All rooms feature satellite TV, in-room movies, minibars, hairdryers, high-speed Internet access, individual climate controls, irons and ironing boards, voicemail, and safes.
