Which is the best Marriott Bonvoy hotel in Sicily, Italy? We have already reviewed the best Marriott hotels in Europe. Sicily has long been a crossroads of cultures, a veritable melting pot where architecture, culture, and culinary traditions meet.
Off its dramatic northern coast lies the volcanic island of Stromboli, known for its spectacular eruptions of spewing fire and fountains of molten rock. In contrast, on the southern coast, admire the Stair of the Turks, a dazzlingly white stretch of coastline characterized by chalky rock sloping into calm aquamarine waters.
The best Marriott hotels in Sicily are:
- Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection
- Delta Hotels Giardini Naxos
- Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference
The hotels listed below are either Marriott hotels or a subsidiary of Marriott. Beyond the Marriott hotels in Sicily, the San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel is outrageously good. It is one of the best Four Seasons in the world but there is no Ritz-Carlton in Sicily.

2. Delta Hotels Giardini Naxos
Delta Hotels Giardini Naxos is less luxurious and less expensive than Ortea Palace Hotel, Sicily, Autograph Collection. It would not be a hotel we would reccomend to luxury travelers, but it is a great mid-range or budget option.
Delta Hotels by Marriott Giardini Naxos is a revamped four-star beachfront hotel set in Giardini Naxos within easy reach of the Taormina and Mount Etna. The hotel has an infinity pool, or you can sunbathe and splash about on the hotel’s private beach.

3. Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference
Four Points by Sheraton Catania Hotel & Conference is a budget hotel and is less well suited to the leisure traveler.
Located on the breathtaking Cyclops Coast, stroll across the street to the rocky beach and admire beautiful views. Visit Catania’s celebrated sites, just 6 miles away, and explore the rich history of Acireale and Taormina at the foot of Mount Etna.
The hotel offers 166 guest rooms and suites and all the amenities to enjoy your Sicilian journey.
