| In 1865, when Florence became capital of the new kingdom of Italy, extensive alterations were made to this smallish but extremely beautiful renaissance city. It was at this time that this neo-classical palazzo, now the Carolus Hotel, was built between the Dominican convent of San Marco and the Fortezza da Basso, near the Orti di Barbano. Thus, the Carolus Hotel, located in the historic city centre, is close to the Accademia Gallery and Duomo Cathedral, and provides magnificent hospitality in the art-city par excellence, within easy reach of Florence´s major monuments and best known shops. Those who are visiting Florence on business will find the Carolus Hotel an ideal base, conveniently close to the Palazzo dei Congressi, the Palazzo delle Esposizioni (inside the Fortezza da Basso) and the railway station. A recent major renovation has provided the Carolus Hotel with every modern comfort to satisfy the requirements of its guests. |
