HOTEL DESCRIPTION
Florence
is a Renaissance city located in the heart of Tuscany in the north
of Italy and surrounded by the foothills of the Apennines.
Florence is renowned for its Renaissance art and architecture,
and there is an astonishing abundance concentrated in a relatively
small area of the city. Any visitor to Florence will be amazed
by the amount of sightseeing opportunities, accommodation and
dining that the city has to offer.
The Hotel Astoria is set in the very heart of the old town, a
short walk from the fabulous Duomo (cathedral) of Florence, which
dates from the end of the 13th century. A charming and prestigious
hotel, the Hotel Astoria was created from a medieval aristocrat's
palace, the Palazzo Gaddi, which is a genuine pearl of Florentine
baroque. The Hotel Astoria is situated just ten kilometres from
the international airport.
Guests
are welcomed into a 16th-century Florentine palace: the floors
are of red Tuscan tiles, the creamy stucco leads the eye up to
the high vaults of the ceilings and sophisticated and elegant
furnishings are everywhere. The whole hotel is evocative of a
distinguished and opulent past.
The
bedrooms and suites are refined and elegant, guaranteeing absolute
privacy and a quite uncommon degree of comfort. The guest rooms
are furnished with typical Florentine taste, but also equipped
with air conditioning, minibar and satellite television. The Junior
Suites contain a relaxing jacuzzi, while others have balconies
offering a stunning view over the old city centre.

In summertime guests can enjoy 'moonlight' dinners in the

MEETINGS: The
hotel's Conference Centre is in the historic Palazzo Gaddi,
a beautiful 17th-century building whose five rooms are decorated
with remarkable Renaissance frescoes. The largest, the Sala
delle Feste and the Sala Luca Giordano, can accommodate up
to 150 people.
Apart from the basic equipment, numerous other services can
be provided on request, from simultaneous translation to videoconferencing
facilities. Working lunches, buffets and sumptuous gala dinners
can all be organised in the same rooms, and can be made even
more memorable by the addition of local colour in the form
of entertainers and musicians in traditional Florentine costume.
The
magnificent reception rooms, with their peerless elegance and
state-of-the-art technology, are ideal settings for exceptional
meetings, receptions and banquets, assuring the complete success
of any event.
