Hotel in Florence, close to the Duomo

Hotel Astoria, Florence

This hotel in Florence provides deluxe accommodation in a privileged location in the town centre, near to the magnificent Duomo. You can admire the shapely dome of the cathedral from the terrace and many of the guest rooms of the Hotel Astoria. There are so many activities to keep you entertained in this culturally-rich city, from visiting the exquisitely-decorated churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce, to familiarising yourself with the Renaissance masters at the Uffizi Gallery and the Bargello Museum. There is the vibrant covered food market of the Mercato Centrale, as well as more refined designer boutiques to peruse on Via de'Tornabuoni.

This Florence hotel is steeped in history, as the building was once the medieval palace of a noble family. The poet John Milton lived in the palace for some time and worked on his most famous epic, Paradise Lost, while he was here. The hotel decor reflects its heritage, staying faithful to its roots with period furnishings and frescoes. There is a top-class restaurant, a relaxing bar and a scenic terrace where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city while sipping a cocktail or glass of local wine.

For meetings and events there are well-equipped conference rooms which be customised for your individual needs, and which are sure to make a good impression on your guests.
