Accommodations in historic buildings belonging to Florentine nobility
The Astoria Hotel Florence is a graceful and intelligent 4-star property, a proud member of the Boscolo hotel portfolio whose properties cater to the most seasoned travelers. The hotel's buildings belong to noble Florentine families, whose treasured art collection adds a prestige that inspires and uplifts. Rooms are functional and comforting, with some that offer coveted views of the city and its architectural masterpieces.
Highlights
  • The same building where author John Milton wrote Paradise Lost
  • Located just a short walk to Florence's historic center
  • Prestigious décor in the Florentine Baroque style
Rooms
Rooms are saturated with Florentine aesthetics, including fresco-adorned walls and period furnishings, all gathered in graceful elegance both inviting and invigorating. The 98 rooms at the Astoria Hotel Florence are divided among classic, deluxe and junior suite configurations, some offering a private terrace that overlooks the city, while others that feature a view of the Duomo or historic center. All include modern conveniences and amenities, assuring guests of a pampered and indulgent visit.
Features
Situated in the rooms of the Palazzo Gaddi and Palazzo Arrighetti, historic buildings belonging to Florentine nobility, the Astoria Hotel Florence exudes prestige and polished decadence, with a history that reaffirms its local prominence. It was here where famed author John Milton found inspiration for, as well as composed, the classic Paradise Lost and an impressive collection of notable works of art grace the walls of both guest rooms and public spaces.

The on-site Palazzo Gaddi Restaurant serves contemporary Mediterranean dishes and the Wine Bar Agora offers an extensive collection of fine Tuscan wines and sumptuous antipasti. Finally, the Lounge Bar Arrighetti, with its 15th century frescoes and rustic Florentine medallions, is the ideal venue in which to savor your favorite cocktail. And when weather permits, head to the magnificent terrace for an unforgettable view of the Duomo and Florentine sights.

Very Nice Experience

Great location, close to train station but not too close. Room was a nice size. Public areas of hotel were absolutely gorgeous. Room itself was rather plain. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had full size tub and shower. Great roof top public area on 3rd floor where you can sit and read and get some sun. Wireless in hotel lobby only. Had shampoo, bath wash, hair dryer, TV, air. Overall experience was very positive.

Wish we had more time

The hotel was hard to find (as is common in this area), but the location was great. It is in the heart of the city. Everything is in short walking distance of the hotel. It's a bit dated, but the view from the roof top restauant is spectacular and almost worth the stay by itself. The rooms are small in comparison to American Hotels, but it was adequate. We were lucky to have suites at all of our other hotels in Italy, so this one did seem small, but by european standards it is normal in size.

Quality and Class. Perfect Location

Just an overnight stay but enough time to experience the quality & magical ambiance that this majestic hotel exudes. The service and help from the front desk was equally impressive. From its historical aspect this hotel was what you imagined the great hotels in history would be like. From it's solid feel, ornate ceilings & walls and great noise suppression in the rooms, to it's perfect location within the old part of Florence and quite good value, this hotel was a total joy to stay in. The only disappointing note is learning that the hotel is due for a major modernisation/refurbishment which might mean the loss of its wonderful historic feel.

Good location, fair room.

The Astoria is in the Santa Maria Novella neighborhood, so the location is good. Nice lobby, average room. Problem: a bathtub that was so narrow I could not have my feet flat! The shower water pressure was poor, although the water ran well for a bath. We had not included the breakfast in our booking, and were told we could add it for an additional 15 Euro each. Yikes! We went elsewhere. A very nice touch was a personal knock on the door as our 4:00 AM wake up to catch a flight. Friendly staff.
