The Hotel

Matching its central Lecce locale with four star facilities, this elegant hotel adorns its classically styled heights with a host of contemporary conveniences. Hotel President’s Myosotis Restaurant indulges fine tastes with a spread of regional delicacies and Italian favourites, and keeps things fresh with seasonal dishes made from local produce. Chilled out breaks are catered for at the American Bar, where exotic cocktails and crisp wines can be enjoyed alongside European beers and light snacks in a sleek, ambient environment.

Groupon Recommends

Take an inspiring step into Italy’s architectural past with a 20 minute stroll to Lecce Cathedral, the 12th century foundations of which lie beneath a Baroque façade decked with statues of St Orontius, St Justus, and St Fortunatus. Other cultural spectacles abound at the city’s Roman amphitheatre, where carved marbles depict the wrestling of warriors and beasts amid columns placed there nearly 2000 years ago. For a day spent further afield, make the journey to relish the sea air while exploring Roca Vecchia’s historic coastal watchtowers, which overlook Blue Flag-awarded beaches and secluded bays that, at under an hour’s drive from the hotel, are a bit closer to temporary home.

Reviews

Hotel President received 3.5/5 from TripAdvisors. While opinions varied on the decor, visitors found the rooms in good condition and praised the hotel’s friendly staff and convenient location.

The room was clean, brightly lit and well maintained. The staff throughout the hotel were excellent. Upon arrival the front desk immediately saw through my poor Italian and cheerfully assisted us in English.

Very good location, 10 minutes away from the historic center [sic]. Rooms need an update, but very spacious and kept clean. Good and friendly service from the front desk staff.
