Boscolo Hotel Astoria, Florence

In choosing Florence, you’ve chosen to immerse yourself completely in the art and beauty of the Italian Renaissance. That’s why the Boscolo Hotel Astoria is the ideal choice for your stay. You’ll be accommodated in the rooms of the Palazzo Gaddi and Palazzo Arrighetti, historic buildings belonging to noble Florentine families, where art recounts the passage of centuries every step of the way, from the lobby to your room. Indeed, it was while living at Palazzo Gaddi that the great English author John Milton found inspiration for his masterpiece, Paradise Lost, and in these very rooms that he wrote it. The nobility of the Boscolo Hotel Astoria is also reflected in its location: the church of Santa Maria Novella, abounding in great art, is right nearby (as is the convenient railway station of the same name), and a short stroll will take you directly to Florence’s historic centre. An undeniable advantage that puts the most beautiful areas of the city right at your fingertips.

The 4 star Hotel Astoria has 6 floors served by elevator. Unexpected culinary delights await you at our restaurant, the Palazzo Gaddi. Professionals of the palate combine Mediterranean dishes with the inventiveness of nouvelle cuisine, a felicitous marriage that you never would have imagined to encounter in Florence, a touch of the new that adds a bit of flair to our otherwise classic style of hospitality. Weather permitting, you can also enjoy these innovative flavours in our garden. Adjacent to the restaurant is a space dedicated entirely to the vintner's art: the Agorà Wine Bar, faithful to the great Tuscan wine-making tradition, takes you on a gustatory adventure among robust reds, delicate whites and delicious antipasti. Open also to outside clients, the Agorà carries on the Palazzo's long tradition as a classic Florentine meeting place. Or if you prefer a more reserved atmosphere, enjoy the quiet elegance of the Arrighetti Lounge, where your drink is served in the presence of 15th-century frescoes and rustic Florentine medallions. The rich buffet breakfast is served in a gorgeous breakfast room (the price of the breakfast is from 15 Euro per person/per day). The importance of your business meeting will be enhanced by the sumptuous conference rooms of the Boscolo Hotel Astoria, all in the Florentine Baroque style. Four halls with capacities ranging from 30 to 120 people. Parking available nearby (from 32 Euro per night). Small pets are welcome upon request.

Every inch of every room at the Hotel Astoria is saturated with the Florentine aesthetic. From the frescoes decorating the walls to the period furnishings, you breathe the atmosphere of the birthplace of the Renaissance the moment you enter.
