Show description from: activehotels diytravel octopustravel

One of the closest hotels to the Ponte Vecchio, this stylish, modern 4-star hotel hosts regular contemporary art exhibitions in its public areas. Designed to create a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere, the hotel has a chic and cosmopolitan atmosphere which makes it popular with trendy Florentine business people, who often drink at the hotel's Fusion Bar. There is also a restaurant serving innovative cuisine. From the modern artistic styles on display in the hotel you can walk around the corner to the Uffizi Gallery and admire many of the masterpieces of Italian painting. On the other side of the bridge you will also find the huge Palazzo Pitti, with the lovely Boboli gardens. The central location of the hotel also means that you will be within easy walking distance of the Duomo and the train station.

Completely redesigned by the famous Italian and Florentine designer Ferragamo it is quite simply one of the most individual properties in Florence. 02/06 A.DP.

Right next door to the Ponte Vecchio this hotel is in a perfect position for immediate access by foot to all of Florence's major attractions, such as the Uffizi Gallery, The Duomo, and Ghilberti's Golden ”Doors of Paradise”. The hotel itself is in a quiet courtyard off the busy Lungarno Street which offers a very serene and quiet setting.

All rooms are in the very fashionable 'minimalistic' and modern style. Simple but extremely comfortable, they have polished dark parquet flooring, white plaster walls with black borders and white bedspreads. This two tone effect works very well and helps to make this hotel completely unique.

There is no restaurant available but the breakfast room is on the ground floor and consists of soft white leather seating, glass tables and an extremely substantial cold buffet.

Completely redesigned, it is medium in size with a marble floor and white plaster walling with many sketches and paintings by prominent artists.

The building is a fifteenth century Renaissance style seven-storey palazzo.
