Hotels to remember: Florence

The city of Lorenzo de'Medici and the Arno river, of the Guelfs and Ghibellines, of princes and popolani, of the Renaissance and Dante. A treasure chest filled with the world's greatest artworks. The universal city.

Few cities can boast the wealth of artistic masterpieces to be found within the walls of the city of Florence, undisputed birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Thousands of tourists flock to the Tuscan capital each day, to visit its museums and galleries, brimming with mediaeval and renaissance artworks, and to roam the streets of the city where Dante, Boccaccio and Petrarca lay the foundations of modern day Italian language. Florence is where to enjoy a romantic stroll across Ponte Vecchio and along the banks of the Arno river and pay one’s respects to the great figures of the past buried in the Church of Santa Croce.
