AN ICON REBORN IN TAORMINA

One of the world’s most legendary hotels, San Domenico Palace invites you to embark on an epic journey into history. With origins dating back to 1374, this classic Dominican convent was expanded in 1896 to become a hotel, featuring a new building designed in liberty style. For more than a century, San Domenico Palace has welcomed the world’s most illustrious guests – from Oscar Wilde and King Edward VIII to Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren. Now, as Four Seasons, this iconic hotel begins a new era, delivering the highest standards of personalized service.
Cloistered courtyard with stone columns, arches and lush greenery, framed by the architecture of a historic building.

We are very excited to introduce our guests to the wealth of natural, cultural and gastronomic experiences in Taormina and Sicily – enhancing each stay with Four Seasons savoir faire.

LORENZO MARAVIGLIA General Manager
