Prato hotels

Hotel Palace, Prato

This four-star hotel in Prato is just minutes away from the main railway station, connecting you with Florence and its magnificent architecture and world-famous art collections. Soon you could be admiring works by great masters such as Botticelli, Donatello and Michelangelo, strolling through the idyllic Boboli gardens or admiring panoramic views over Florence from the Fiesole hills.

But Prato also has much to offer its visitors, with three great galleries of its own, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, the Museo di Pittura Murale and the Museo Civico e Galleria Communale. It is not just Prato's galleries that are home to awe-inspiring works of art, as the Duomo has some stunning frescoes by Fra' Filippo Lippi and an Andrea della Robbia terracotta, and, if you step out into the Piazza San Marco you will be greeted by an original Henry Moore sculpture, Square Form with Cut. Music lovers should head to the Castello Imperatore, the thirteenth-century castle of Emperor Frederick II, where you can enjoy open-air concerts in the courtyard every summer. There are plenty of inexpensive options for eating, too, as Prato has a wealth of reasonably-priced pizzerias and trattorias.

The Hotel Palace, Prato has a private garage and an outdoor swimming pool at guests' disposal. There is an American Bar, and a quality Tuscan restaurant, which can also cater for banquets and parties. Meeting rooms equipped with all the latest conference technology can be booked for anywhere between 20 and 400 people. The modern rooms are all en suite and come with satellite TV, minibar, direct-dial telephone and hair dryer.
