| HOTEL BOTTICELLI is a patrician home of the 16th century, close to the old Market, “San Lorenzo”, in the heart of downtown Florence, just a short walk to the Cathedral and to the principal museums. This three-star hotel reopens its doors to guests after having undergone a thorough restoration. The Renaissance architecture and the refined furnishings reflect the Florentine character, while the amenities and services are up to the finest modern standards. Situated in the characteristic Quarter of the Ancient Market, just 400 meters from the main railroad station, “Santa Maria Novella”, the hotel is the ideal point of departure for walking among the most important monuments and along the elegant streets world-renowned for their chic boutiques and shopping in general. In the opposite direction, and also within walking distance to the Hotel Botticelli are the Fairgrounds, including the Congress Hall and the “Fortezza da Basso”, site of some of the most important International Exhibitions. The beautifully frescoed vaulted ceiling of the hotel’s lobby, the exquisite, classic, geranium-bordered Renaissance covered-porch on the second floor overlooking the Market Square, and the unique enclosed alleyway which formerly separated the two buildings comprising the actual hotel, add a further note of charm and elegance. Hotel Botticelli, within the enchanting backdrop of an ancient Renaissance building, offers first-class comfort and professional service characterized by courtesy and genuine kindness. A spacious breakfast room, with typical dome-vaulted ceiling welcomes our guests each morning for an inviting buffet. The hotel also has its own garage for its guests’ convenience. |
