Relais Modern  

In a quiet, residential pocket of Florence’s historic centre, this townhouse-style relais sits about 1 km from the bustling city core. You’ll be steps from the Florence Botanical Gardens and minutes from the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Academy Gallery and Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. A family-friendly, centrally located base for sightseeing and relaxed city walks.

Opened by a team of young Florentines, the Relais Modern blends modern furniture and warm hospitality in an intimate setting of just ~10 rooms. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature memory-foam beds with down comforters, minibars and in-room espresso makers. Bathrooms offer rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries, and some rooms/areas open to a terrace with city views. The hotel also offers elevator access and a safe-deposit box.

On-site restaurant and limited-hours room service keep things easy. Complimentary wireless Internet keeps you connected. Find a massage room for wellness touches, a concierge/tour desk to book excursions, and a terrace to take in the neighbourhood vibe. Babysitting/childcare is available for a surcharge, and airport shuttle and self-parking options are offered (fees may apply).

Complimentary high-speed wireless internet across the property. Express check-in and check-out, plus dry cleaning/laundry services and optional roundtrip airport shuttle on request.

A casual on-site restaurant serves hotel guests, with limited-hours room service when you want to dine in. Rooms come ready for an Italian morning with in-room espresso makers and stocked minibars.
