In May 2025, I covered how there were plans for a Park Hyatt to open in Sicily. It hadn’t actually formally been announced, but instead, Hyatt’s page with the new hotel pipeline was updated to reflect that. There’s now more news, as Hyatt has formally announced this project, so we now know when the hotel…

The White Lotus did Taormina (and Sicily) no favors. Lived in Sicily from 1991-1993 courtesy of my father's Naval career and despite it being a favorite haunt of Princess Diana it was never terribly busy, even if it was still very touristy. Hyatt should've focused on Sorrento on the mainland instead of trying to capitalize on the buzz from TWL. Sicilians have never been particularly friendly towards stereotypical Americans - you definitely have to show yourself to be a gracious visitor - otherwise they will be openly disdainful of you.

The concept of "keys" was introduced as a common denominator for properties offering a mix of rooms and suites. If a hotel is an all-suite one, why wouldn't Ben clearly state that? What a strange thing to nitpick on.

Only American One-Percenters are entitled. Don't you know that? :)

Using the industry lingo makes the article cool, I suppose :)

I'm curious, why is the recent linguistic standard established on this blog of describing properties as having a certain number of 'keys' as apposed to rooms, now abandoned when the property...

I’ve been touring Sicily with points for the past 3 weeks. Been here plenty of times before. It’s challenging using points as not a ton of good corporate brand hotels. Had a good stay at Piccolo Etna by Hilton and decent stay (but bad breakfast) at Hilton Terradamari in Modica a Mare (has a beach club). Mr/Mrs Smith in Mandranova was decent as well but poor Hyatt redemption. Just OK Accor redemption at Mercure Palermo. BTW Taormina was touristy back over 20 years ago! We just did a day visit this trip and drove in and parked easily. Way too crowded and pricey for my taste but if money or points were no object? Ok then!

It's an island. "On" is grammatically correct in English. Nothing weird about proper usage of written language. It's not a matter of how it's "thought of" as a region. It remains an islan...
