Hotel Accademia  

In the heart of Florence's historic center, housed in a 14th-century palace once belonging to sculptor Bernardo Cennini. Steps from the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore), Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi, a short stroll to the Central Market, Basilica of San Lorenzo, Medici Chapels and Ponte Vecchio — central, pet-friendly city-center lodging with Santa Maria Novella station minutes away.

Classic-style rooms with parquet or wooden floors, Carrara marble touches in the lobby and a stone breakfast room with a fireplace set the tone. Rooms offer air conditioning, soundproof glass, satellite/LCD TV, minibar, safe and private bathrooms (bathtub or shower) across 19 guestrooms; there’s also a small outdoor garden and a quiet reading room.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi plus an internet point with computers, printers and fax keep you connected. Unwind in the charming garden or reading room, enjoy the bar/lounge, and take advantage of 24-hour reception, concierge service, partner garage/onsite parking and laundry/dry-cleaning.

Practical business touches include an internet point with printers/fax, complimentary wireless internet and a multilingual 24-hour front desk. Dry cleaning, laundry and concierge services help keep trips smooth.

A complimentary buffet/continental breakfast is served each morning in an elegant stone room with a fireplace from 7:30 AM. For authentic Tuscan flavors, the neighborhood’s famed trattorias are steps away — try Da Nerbone or Trattoria Zà Zà — and the hotel bar/lounge is on hand for evening drinks.
