Hotel Excelsior Reggio Calabria

Hotel Excelsior Reggio Calabria occupies a central position in the city of Reggio Calabria at Via Vittorio Veneto 66, within the provincial capital of the southernmost tip of mainland Italy. The city is separated from Sicily by the narrow Strait of Messina, and the hotel is within walking distance of the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia, which houses the celebrated Bronzi di Riace — two ancient Greek bronze warrior statues recovered from the seabed in 1972 and considered among the finest surviving examples of ancient Greek sculpture. The seafront Lungomare Falcomatà promenade, one of the most scenic boulevards in Italy, runs along the city waterfront and is also easily reached on foot. Rooms span standard, superior, and double categories, equipped with air conditioning, wifi, and en-suite bathrooms. Some rooms offer views over the Strait of Messina toward the Sicilian hills and the Peloritani mountains, which are particularly dramatic at dawn and dusk when the lights of Messina become visible across the water. The on-site restaurant serves Calabrian and Sicilian-influenced cuisine, reflecting the city's position at the cultural intersection of two powerful regional food traditions. Swordfish, caught locally in the Strait of Messina, is prominent on the menu. Breakfast is available and the bar serves granita with brioche, a morning ritual particular to this corner of Calabria and neighbouring Sicily. Service is professional and suited to both leisure and business guests, with the hotel's central location providing immediate access to public transport, the ferry terminal for Sicily crossings, and the main commercial and administrative areas of Reggio Calabria. The hotel is a convenient base for visits to the Aspromonte National Park and the archaeological sites of Magna Graecia.
