Stay With Us in Ortigia

Sicily, September 2027

Ciao amici!

For our wedding weekend, we'd love for everyone to stay in Ortigia, the beautiful ancient island at the heart of Syracuse. It's a charming, intimate town that's easy to explore on foot, and we're hoping to have everyone close by so we can make the most of our time together!

Below, you'll find a selection of hotels where we've arranged special rates and VIP amenities for our guests using the booking links provided below. We'd especially recommend Ortea Palace, where we'll be staying throughout the weekend and where all wedding shuttles will depart from. It's a beautiful hotel in a great location, and we think you'll love it!

Of course, if you'd prefer to stay somewhere else, we've included a few other options below. And if you'd like a hand booking any of these hotels, exploring other places to stay, or planning a little travel before or after the wedding, our good friend and fantastic travel advisor, Zack, would be more than happy to help. You can find his contact information below!

Where we will be staying

Ortea Palace Hotel

A grand former post office on the edge of Ortigia, looking across the water. The old town's cathedral, Fonte Aretusa and Castello Maniace are all within walking distance.

Why we chose it

  • Shuttles to and from the wedding leave from the hotel
  • A 10-minute walk to the welcome party
  • On the bridge into Ortigia, within walking distance of everything in town
  • Free public parking nearby, plus reasonably priced valet parking

At the hotel

  • Sea-facing rooms and bi-level suites
  • Top-floor dining with views over the harbor
  • Ortea Spa by Comfort Zone

Getting around

Ortigia is a small island of narrow streets, lovely on foot and hard to drive. If you rent a car, Ortea Palace sits right by the bridge onto the island, so you can park and walk everywhere from here.

Your benefits

  • VIP treatment at the hotel, first in line for upgrades
  • Book with your Marriott Bonvoy account, if you have one
  • Some rates also include a hotel credit

Other Places to Stay

If you would like something smaller or more budget-friendly, these are lovely alternatives, though they are not our main recommendation. The old town's streets are hard to drive, so you would walk to the shuttle at Ortea Palace.

Outside Ortigia

Beautiful seaside resorts, best if you will have a car to reach the wedding events.
