As Sicily's first luxury hotel, Grand Hotel Timeo has welcomed royalty, artists, writers, and celebrities for more than a century. Today, as part of the Belmond collection, it continues to embody classic Italian glamour while preserving the charm and character that have made it legendary. Elegant rooms and suites are filled with Sicilian touches, many featuring private terraces overlooking the sea or Mount Etna, while beautifully landscaped gardens filled with fragrant flowers create an atmosphere of peace and romance.
One of the hotel's greatest strengths is its unrivalled location. Guests can stroll directly into the charming streets of Taormina to explore elegant boutiques, cafés, and historic piazzas, while the ancient Greek Theatre sits immediately next door. The hotel also serves as an excellent base for discovering the wider region, whether taking a boat excursion along the coast, visiting Mount Etna, exploring nearby vineyards, or enjoying Sicily's remarkable culinary traditions. During the warmer months, guests also have access to Belmond's private beach club at Villa Sant'Andrea, offering the perfect combination of hilltop elegance and seaside relaxation.
Dining is another highlight of the Grand Hotel Timeo experience. The hotel's celebrated terrace restaurant offers refined Sicilian cuisine accompanied by one of the most breathtaking views in Italy, while the elegant Literary Terrace & Bar has long been a favorite gathering place for aperitivo as the sun sets over Mount Etna. Combined with Belmond's warm hospitality and impeccable attention to detail, the hotel offers an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures the romance and beauty of Sicily.
