Hotel Carolus Hotel, Florence

A nineteenth century neo-classical palazzo (palace) is home to this Florence hotel. The marble-floored entrance hall, with its comfortable sofas and armchairs, manages to be grand but not austere, while high ceilings and large windows give the carpeted hallways a majestic feel. In the 53 bedrooms of the Hotel Carolus, Florence, oak flooring and natural fabrics are in keeping with the Tuscan artisan tradition. However, with rooms overlooking the green hills of Fiesole and the wealth of nearby churches, you are unlikely to spend your stay admiring the interior decor.

Each of the rooms has independently adjustable air conditioning, and an en-suite bathroom (with hairdryer). A continental breakfast and morning newspaper are included in the price of a superior room. There are also PC and modem sockets, satellite TV, and a direct-line telephone in every room, while a conference room equipped with video facilities can also be booked for those on a working visit to the city. Internal baggage handling and a 24-hour concierge offering laundry and dry cleaning services mean that you will not have to lift a finger during your stay. So just relax with a chilled Campari from your room's refrigerated minibar, or share a bottle of Chianti in company at the hotel's main bar.

If you are here on business, this hotel in Florence will make it a pleasure, but the Carolus is also ideally located for culture-seeking guests. Just a few steps from the Dominican convent of San Marco with its Fra'Angelico frescoes, the Basilica of San Lorenzo and the Medici chapels (Cappelle Medicee), you will be immersed in the town's rich history from the moment you cross the hotel threshold.
