★   ★   ★    ★

No weather data found for [, ”Italy”, ”Tuscany”, horizontal]

Comfortable and contemporary but rather impersonal option that’s somewhat removed from the centre. Suited mostly to business travellers rather than those who want to soak up the local flavour.

Exterior

A rather lacklustre building with columns of reflective glass and a few rooms with a balcony. Street level main entrance with steps down to reception.

Property type: Hotel

Storeys: 6

Built Year: 1976

Interior

The interior is generally contemporary and spacious but lacks any traditional character and charm, incorporating a large well-lit modernistic bar with comfortable tub-chair seating and a grand piano centrepiece. A low-ceilinged basement restaurant is pleasant enough but does feel like it lacks natural light.

Rooms: 119

 

Location

Area Type: 1¼ ml west of Piazza del Duomo, on junction of wide busy avenue with constant traffic, in a residential suburb of city across road from the main city park. There’s a very limited amount of shops and restaurants in vicinity with the popular shops and attractions of Ponte Vecchio a 1¼ mile riverside walk away. Bus stop 100 yds. The train station is ¾ mile.
