Hotels in Prato

Art Hotel Milano, Prato

This riverside hotel in Prato is popular with holiday-makers and business travellers alike. The town is the capital of its own small province and has been at the heart of the Italian textile industry since the Middle Ages - the majority of Italy's woollen cloth is still produced here. Prato offers a vast array of good value trattorias and bars as well as plenty to keep you entertained during the day. Head down to the Piazza San Marco where you can see Henry Moore's Square Form with Cut and where you can visit the thirteenth-century Castello Imperatore, once home to emperor Frederick II. Here you can also visit the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and the Museo di Pittura Murale and, over the summer months, you can listen to open air concerts in the castle courtyard. The Duomo houses a terracotta piece by Andrea della Robbia as well as the Pulpit of the Sacred Girdle where the remains of what is believed to be the Madonna's girdle are placed on ceremonial display five times a year. It is also home to stunning frescoes by Fra' Filippo Lippi depicting the martyrdom of St John the Baptist and St Stephen.

The Art Hotel Milano, Prato is in a central location, which is convenient for visiting the town's historical centre and also for taking a train to nearby Florence, one of Italy's most beautiful cities. This 3-star hotel's clean modern furnishings, smart entrance hall and well-equipped meeting rooms will make just the right impression if you are entertaining business clients here. But, with friendly staff, comfortable rooms and a high-quality restaurant, it is also a great holiday destination. The air-conditioned bedrooms come with orthopaedic beds, satellite TV, pay-per-view films, radio, telephone, minibar and private bathroom equipped with hydro-massage shower.
