Florence hotel

Florence Business Hotel, Florence

This modern Florence hotel is ideal for business travellers looking for a quiet retreat outside the tourist centre. However, with good public transport links to the heart of cultural Florence it is also suitable for holidaymakers. From the four-star Florence Business Hotel, the number 26 bus will take you straight to Florence's main train station, where you will be within walking distance of all the main galleries, churches and museums.

First stop on your itinerary should definitely be the spectacular Duomo, which is probably the most recognisable landmark of the city. The colourful marble facade of the cathedral is also impressive and inside you can see superb terracotta reliefs, frescoes and stained glass windows. Scale the staircases of the next-door Campanile and you will be rewarded by a staggering panorama over Florence's red rooftops. Make sure you leave plenty of time in your schedule for the Uffizi Gallery, as there are an overwhelming number of paintings by the world's most famous artists. Botticelli's Birth of Venus, is a particular highlight, but don't miss the fascinating gallery of self-portraits, where you can see artists like Rubens, Rembrandt and Velazquez through their own eyes.

This hotel in Florence is equipped with a 20-person conference room, a reading room, black-and-white photocopying facilities and internet access, so it is perfect if you are on a working trip to the city. The multilingual staff are very obliging and the private parking, currency exchange and luggage storage is also extremely convenient. The rooms are all air conditioned and come with en-suite bathroom, telephone, TV, minibar and breakfast included in the price.
