A traditional hotel occupying a grand Renaissance palace in central Florence, the Hotel Paris lies within 500 metres of Cathedral Square. Antique style furniture including some original pieces, rich coloured fabrics and original artworks in keeping with the spirit of the building adorn the 68 air conditioned guestrooms, where satellite television, direct dial phones and minibars feature alongside grand fireplaces and frescoed ceilings. Guests can choose pastries, cereals, fruits, cheese and cold meats from the breakfast buffet and eat beneath the elaborate frescoed ceiling in the dining room. The terrace offers panoramic views across the city rooftops and provides a pleasant location for an aperitif, which can also be taken in the lounge bar or out on the first floor patio garden. Knowledgeable staff can provide local information and the 24 hour front desk has a safe deposit box for valuables. Many of Florence's key sights are a short stroll from the hotel
