Hotel Description

Located one block from San Lorenzo Church in Florence, Italy’s Historic District, the Boscolo Hotel Astoria was converted from a 17th century palace into a fantastic Florence boutique hotel.

Hotel Features

Occupying what used to be Florence’s praised Palazzo Gaddi, the Boscolo Hotel Astoria gives opportune travelers a glance at authentic Renaissance style. The hotel lobby is a sight to be seen, as marble floors, stained glass and arched corridors lend an intimate view into the world and lifestyle of Florentine luxury. The Ristorante Pal Gaddi serves Mediterranean cuisine in a contemporary Tuscan venue, featuring hand-painted ceilings, decorative chandeliers and modular glass doors that give way to a beautiful garden and alfresco dining. With recessed lighting, European lounge furniture and terracotta floors, the Agorà Wine Bar provides guests with a charming alternative to the nightlife in Florence. Notable hotel services include currency exchange, translation services, medical assistance and complimentary newspaper delivery.

Guestrooms

Pleasing to the eye, each of the hotel’s 98 guestrooms feature vaulted wood-beam ceilings, Giordano frescos and sprawling windows. With impeccable interior design, these guestrooms are finished-out with reproduction Renaissance furniture, mahogany two-poster beds and ornate, freestanding vanities. Other amenities include marble bathrooms, business desks and designer toiletries.

Hotel Location

Teeming with history and sophistication, The Boscolo Hotel Astoria is a luxury property in Florence’s historic district. Positioned just one block from San Lorenzo Church and three blocks from Il Duomo Cathedral and the shops of Via Tornabuoni, this Tuscan accommodation is within walking distance of many of Florence’s most prized travel destinations. The Academia Art Gallery is less than one kilometre away.

Hotelbook Tip

Once owned and occupied by the Gaddi family, this 17th-century baroque palace was the creative headquarters for artists and writers such as John Milton, who was, according to legend, much inspired by the palace’s garden room, and wrote a portion of his famed masterpiece, Paradise Lost, within its’ walls.
