Palermo Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
Palermo Airport, officially Falcone-Borsellino Airport, lies 35km west of Sicily’s capital and handles a significant volume of domestic Italian flights alongside European routes. For travellers driving from Palermo or from other parts of western Sicily, a park and fly hotel near the terminal avoids official airport parking costs and provides a comfortable overnight stay. One hotel near the terminal offers a park and fly package with a shuttle.
How it works
Book the Hilton Garden Inn Palermo and parking package through Aerfortel. Drive to the hotel the evening before your flight and park in the hotel car park. The shuttle takes you to the terminal in the morning. Palermo Airport has a single main terminal. On your return, the shuttle collects you from arrivals.
Hotels with park and fly at Palermo Airport
Hilton Garden Inn Palermo
One kilometre from the terminal with a shuttle, the Hilton Garden Inn Palermo is a 3-star premium property in the Hilton family of brands. The Garden Inn format sits between standard ibis-style budget hotels and full 4-star Hilton properties: well-designed rooms, a restaurant, and the consistency of a major international hotel brand. For the Palermo airport market, which has limited hotel options in the immediate vicinity, this is a strong choice offering genuine quality at a reasonable price.
