Hotel information

To properly experience Florence is to immerse yourself completely in the art and beauty of the Italian Renaissance. That's why Boscolo Hotel Astoria is the ideal choice for your stay.

Palazzo Gaddi and Palazzo Arrighetti, which house the hotel’s rooms, are historic palaces built by noble Florentine families. In them, works of art tell the story of centuries past, from the main lobby to your own private accommodations. It was while living in the rooms of Palazzo Gaddi that the great English author John Milton wrote his masterpiece, Paradise Lost.

Boscolo Hotel Astoria offers a prestigious conference room decorated in Florentine baroque style, available for meetings, formal events and private functions. It also boasts a most prominent location, two steps from the church of Santa Maria Novella and the metro station of the same name. The historic centre of Florence is within the reach of a short stroll.

Room information

Every inch of every room at Hotel Astoria reflects Florentine aesthetic traditions. From the frescoes decorating the walls to the period furnishings, you breathe the atmosphere of the birthplace of the Renaissance from the moment you arrive.

Food & beverage

Palazzo Gaddi restaurant offers tasty international and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as local dishes and themed menus such as 'The Old Recipes of Caterina dei Medici'. In summertime, guests can enjoy moonlit dinners in the restaurant’s garden.

Next to the restaurant, there is a space entirely devoted to superior wines: Agorà Wine Bar, faithful to the great Tuscan wine-making tradition. The wine bar takes you on a gastronomic adventure featuring robust reds, delicate whites and delicious antipasti. Open to the general public, the Agorà carries on the Palazzo's long tradition as a classic Florentine meeting place.

If you prefer a more reserved atmosphere, enjoy the quiet elegance of the Arrighetti Lounge, decorated with 15th-century frescoes and rustic Florentine medallions. Additionally, the terrace offers a magnificent and exclusive space from where you can see the Duomo and all the main sites of the historic city centre while enjoying a cocktail.
