Each one is lavishly decorated with individual antiques and hand-woven fabrics. The modern essentials are not forgotten: a hairdryer, bathrobes, satellite TV, and individually controlled air conditioning can be found in each room. The multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk will be able to help with everything from a city guide, to dry cleaning. Baby-sitting services are on hand if you need some time away from the children. The restaurant offers an excellent American buffet breakfast, while the bar at this Florence hotel stays open late so you can enjoy a nightcap.
