Florence: the city of art par excellence, the cradle of the renaissance, one of the most popular destinations for travelers around the world. It is there that Hilton has opened its new facility: it is called Anglo American Hotel Florence, Curio Collection by Hilton, has 118 rooms and a charming inner courtyard, and is a 15-minute walk from the most important tourist and cultural destinations of the Tuscan capital.
In this article:
The Anglo American Hotel Florence Curio Collection by Hilton, originally built in the 1800s and located in the center of the city, reopens its doors after a long restructuring process curated by Italian architect Chiara Caberlon. The structure celebrates the charm of the 1920s: in the restoration process there was special attention to the preservation of the main historical elements but it was also decided to opt for a modern and elegant design. The rooms and suites, decorated with a color palette featuring vibrant colors, create a totally unique and uncommon atmosphere.
Not only aesthetics, also practicality. The new Curio Collection in Florence - to meet the needs of business customers as well - features two meeting rooms (with a maximum capacity of 70 people) as well as a gym.
