Its supremely central location allows for effortless exploration of Florence’s most iconic landmarks. Imagine the ease of reaching the magnificent Duomo, the historic Ponte Vecchio, and the prestigious Accademia Gallery, the celebrated home of Michelangelo’s awe-inspiring original David statue – all conveniently located within a pleasant 20-minute walk from the hotel’s doorstep.

Whether your heart desires immersion in rich history, captivating art, delectable culinary adventures, or a harmonious blend of all these pleasures, the city stands ready to fulfill every desire.
The hotel boasts 50 meticulously designed contemporary rooms, each thoughtfully imbued with the elegance of the Art Deco aesthetic. Expect to find sophisticated leather furniture, generously sized windows allowing for ample natural light, and gleaming marble floors that add a touch of luxury.

Many rooms offer the added bonus of a small balcony, perfect for enjoying the Florentine air. Moreover, all rooms are thoughtfully situated to provide either picturesque river views of the tranquil Arno, or captivating cityscapes showcasing the iconic Duomo.

For families or larger groups traveling together, thoughtfully designed family rooms, convenient interconnecting options, and fully equipped apartments are readily available. Furthermore, the hotel is committed to accessibility, offering specially designed accessible rooms to cater to the needs of guests with limited mobility. The beautifully appointed marble bathrooms feature refreshing rainfall showers, and select rooms elevate the experience further with the inclusion of luxurious bathtubs complete with showers.
A truly unforgettable experience awaits on the rooftop terrace, where a panoramic vista of Florence unfolds, showcasing iconic sites such as Palazzo Vecchio, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the majestic Cathedral. This enchanting space provides the perfect setting to fully immerse yourself in the city’s romantic atmosphere or to simply unwind and rejuvenate after a fulfilling day of exploration.

Wifi – Check On RequestItaly
With unparalleled culture, art, architecture, food, and wine, Italy offers the quintessential European vacation. For travelers who haven’t yet made it to Italy, it’s time to see what la dolce vita is all about. And for those that have it's time to say "ancora"!
When is the best time to visit?
Italy is incredible year round, but since it is an internationally iconic place to visit, expect crowds at the premier tourist destinations from spring through fall, and during holidays when people are more likely to travel. If you have the flexibility, try and visit during the less crowded winter and early shoulder seasons.
Where should I go in Italy?
Rome, Florence, and Venice belong on every traveler’s bucket list. Visitors with a little more time should also see the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Naples, Milan, the Cinque Terre, Sicily—the list of places to visit in Italy has no end.
How many days do I need?
A week is barely enough to hit the main attractions in Italy, but it is doable. Stay for up to a month or more to truly savor the whole experience as well as the food and wine. And no matter how long you stay, you'll surely want to return for your next visit.
Getting around Italy
Trains are a great option for trips between Italy's cities, such as Florence to Rome and Milan to Venice. Driving is not always straightforward, but still a great choice if you feel comfortable taking the wheel along Italy's Autostrada and curvy roads. Other options include domestic flights and ferries.
