Show description from: activehotels diytravel octopustravel reserveahotelonline gtahotels

Situated in a quiet, residential area, Hotel Regency is hidden away from the busy city centre, yet only 10 minutes from Florence’s main tourist sights, including the Accademia Gallery. Facing lush, green parkland on one side and a historic square on the other, this hotel, one of the leading small hotels of the world, offers unparalleled service, with attentive, professional staff and beautiful accommodation. All of Regency’s luxurious rooms have been individually decorated in a charming Tuscan style and contain the finest of furnishings, along with all modern conveniences. The hotel’s delightful urban garden is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or relax with a drink and Regency is also proud of its renowned restaurant, which serves up exquisite Tuscan cuisine with prized wines, all in a grandiose setting.

In the spirit of a true European boutique hotel, the Regency turns back time to a day when ladies and gentlemen traveled in their Sunday best and vintage hospitality was the standard. While more recent renovations have renewed its beauty, the Florentine villa qualities and philosophy remain unchanged. Thirty-five rooms and suites, soft Tuscan tones, sweeping draperies, Renaissance art, elegant collector's furnishings and a delightful urban garden complete the picture, to offer guests the luxury of a 5 star hotel and warmth of a private manor. Common areas take on a living-room like air which further exude the private estate atmosphere of this grand hotel. No experience at the Regency is complete without a well earned retreat to the exquisite "Relais Le Jardin" Restaurant which features exquisite dishes based on the strong flavours of the Tuscan tradition and a more refined, light cuisine and offers a wide selection of the best Italian wines.

The hotel is located in a quiet residential area away from the hustle and bustle of the Duomo and the noisy traffic of the station, but still in central Florence. There is a large piazza in front of the hotel making it easy to find.

The rooms are very nicely kept, luxurious and containing every comfort possible. The hotel does have an annexe where approximately a third of the hotel's rooms are located.

The hotel boasts one of the finest restaurants in Florence. It is very popular with VIPs coming to Florence for business, regal or state occasions.

The lobby is incredibly luxurious even if slightly smaller than one would expect. The combination of soft red carpets and subdued lighting from antique lamps, offer a relaxed and very homely atmosphere. There is a bar situated at one end of the reception area, serving a variety of drinks and snacks.

This building is older than most of those in the square, built around the 19th century. It is a very impressive, regal looking building giving the impression that it was formerly an aristocratic home perhaps for one of Florence's many rich noble families.

This is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Florence.
