Profile
|
The fully renovated Boscolo Hotel Astoria is set in the very heart of the old town, a short walk from the fabulous Duomo (cathedral) of Florence, which dates from the end of the 13th century. A charming and prestigious hotel, the Hotel Astoria was created from a medieval aristocratic palace, the Palazzo Gaddi, which is a genuine pearl of Florentine baroque. |
In an ambiance of refined hospitality, the charm of the past blends with the most sophisticated up-to-date luxury. The colors and decor, then as now, speak of Tuscany: the warm tones of mahogany, walnut and rosewood occasionally complemented by rich inlay work; deep terra-cotta floors flanked by traditional Florentine plaster walls of creamy yellow which, in turn, rise to form vaulted ceilings. |
 The hotel offers magnificent accommodation for guests, and its fabulous reception rooms are the perfect setting for meetings and conferences, receptions and banquets of rare perfection. In fact, Palazzo Gaddi's magnificent halls decorated with remarkable Renaissance frescoes, with their peerless fascination and their state-of-art technology can host meetings, receptions, banquets, work lunches and and sumptuous gala dinners of assured success. |
 Dining facilities in the hotel's restaurant, the Palazzo Gaddi, are superb and the restaurant is one of the most exclusive meeting places in the city of Florence. Guests are welcomed into a 16th-century Florentine setting: the floors are of red Tuscan tiles, the creamy stucco leads the eye up to the high vaults of the ceilings and sophisticated and elegant furnishings are everywhere. The whole hotel is evocative of a distinguished and opulent past. |
