The hotel is over a hundred years old, having been built in the late nineteenth century. A boat will lead to-and-from the hotel's private beach.

“Grand Hotel Ortigia occupies a late-nineteenth-century building near the main harbor, putting guests within walking distance of attractions like the Tempio di Apollo; I think the rooftop restaurant elevates the experience, thanks to fine wines, regional specialties, and marina views. It is the only hotel in Ortigia with private parking and spa facilities, a considerable convenience; plus, the daily breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea is a nice touch. I believe that its blend of history and amenities creates a solid base for exploring Syracuse.”
