Hotels in the center of Florence, Italy

Hotel Botticelli, Florence

Located in the heart of the city's historical centre, this hotel in Florence is just a short stroll from the old market, the Galleria dell'Accademia (the home of the world-famous statue of David) and the Duomo (cathedral). But, it is also ideally located for businessmen and women attending the exhibition centre at Fortezza da Basso. It is only ten minutes by foot to the Santa Maria Novella train station or, if arriving by car, a short drive from the ‘Firenze Nord' exit of the ring road. Surrounded by important monuments, the hotel is itself a perfect example of Renaissance architecture with superb features like the ancient Stradina (enclosed alleyway) on one side of the building. Following the Hotel Botticelli's recent refurbishment, its vaulted ceilings and covered porch (loggia) have been lovingly restored to their sixteenth century glory ... at which time the hotel was home to an aristocratic Florentine family.

Now fit for discerning modern residents, rooms in this Florence hotel combine the contemporary creature comforts with traditional Tuscan charm. Among the comforting touches are full air-conditioning in every room, satellite TV, mini-bar, direct-dial telephones, hairdryers and safety deposit boxes, as well as parking in the hotel's private garage on request. With room service available and a 24-hour reception desk, the hotel staff are always on hand to cater to your needs. Even without the luxury of room service, the room price includes an Italian buffet breakfast with a range of fruit juices, yoghurts, cereals, cold meats and cheeses, to set you up for a hard day's sightseeing around town.
