Hotel Wall Art, Prato

This 4-star hotel in Prato provides top-quality accommodation while also hosting many events and exhibitions on the site, which give the place a creative and lively atmosphere. With the historic centre just a short walk away, you can visit Prato's many galleries, hosting works by masters like Andrea della Robbia and Fra' Filippo Lippi. There is also the magnificent Duomo, where you can see Donatello's Pulpit of the Sacred Girdle, built for the ceremonial display of the Madonna's girdle, and the church of Santa Maria Carceri, with its striking green-and-white marble facade. A modern sculpture by Henry Moore, Square Form with Cut sits well against the Renaissance architecture of the Piazza San Marco.

The Castello Imperatore is the place to go for the finest panoramic views of the city, and for outdoor concerts in its courtyard over the summer. Prato is also the centre of Italy's textile industry, and has been for many centuries, so be sure to visit the Textile Museum before you leave.
