Close to the Politeama Theatre and the pedestrianised area, Grand Hotel Wagner is just a few steps from top-class shops and restaurants as well as the port.

The hotel takes the name from the famous composer Richard Wagner who lived in the street that has his name, with his family between 1881 and 1882. Already, from the sumptuous shiny marble steps at the entrance, the hotel exudes an aura of another era, where craftsman wrought iron goes splendidly together with the warmth of timber and with the precious gold decorations. The lighting sparkles in the large Hall, dominated majestically, among the windows - art in themselves, by the famous chandelier which was used in the great ball scene of the celebrated film “Il Gattopardo”. The interior of the hotel is decorated ornately with paintings, carpets, rare marble, ‘marble’ columns, windows hand-made by noted craftsmen, old paintings and a rare antique fireplace.

Next to the Hall, there is the elegant American Bar, where you can relax, sipping one of our barman’s specialities and listen to the pleasant music of the Piano Bar in the background. For the well-being of guests, there is a ‘Fitness & Wellness’ area (currently not working) situated on a floor under the Hall, which is equipped with sauna, chromo-therapy, tapis roulant, cyclette and various massage and treatment rooms.

On the fourth floor, there is a large terrace - an ideal place for an exclusive aperitif or after-dinner drink, and also the Verdi and Rossini Halls, equipped with the latest technology and available for meetings, conferences and congresses etc. The great professionality of the staff of the Grand Hotel Wagner guarantees its guests the best attention possible and an unforgettable stay in a refined and elegant setting.
