01 · In a sentence

Hilton Garden Inn Lecce in Lecce.

Hilton Garden Inn Lecce occupies a carefully restored 19th-century palazzo in the heart of Lecce's Baroque old town, preserving original architectural elements while offering modern hospitality.

The property's conversion into a contemporary hotel maintains the building's period charm, featuring limestone facades and period details alongside 4-star amenities.

Situated on Via Cosimo de Giorgi, it serves as both ceremony venue and guest accommodation for intimate Italian celebrations.

The front desk is wonderful, the dinner staff in the restaurant were great, and the spa was fantastic unexpectedly. I highly recommend!!!! Carlo at the front desk always had a smile and was patient no matter how many times I came to the front desk with a question. There needs to be a bit of updating here and there, but it is clean and comfortable. Be sure and stop by the spa and tip well (customary or not), they deserve it. I get massages all the time for stress and pain relief, Giada’s massage was so good, I fell asleep twice and I never do that!!! Seriously! Her flow is amazing. I went back the next day.
