Location
In Florence, in a central position close to Piazza Duomo, Palazzo Medici Riccardi and the superb dome by Brunelleschi, the 4-star Hotel Fenice Palace awaits you to reveal the secrets of a city with a wealth of historic palazzi, art galleries and restaurants where you can enjoy the delights of Tuscan cooking.
Easy to reach from Santa Maria Novella station and the airport, the hotel is just a stone's throw from the famous polychrome bell tower designed by Giotto and the ancient Baptistery in front of the Cathedral, along the shopping streets - especially Via de’ Tornabuoni - with many traditional stores and elegant boutiques.
Near the Hotel Fenice Palace, you will find Galleries of the Accademia, with the statue of David by Michelangelo, and the Uffizi, one of the most prestigious galleries in the world, with works by Raffaello, Caravaggio, Tiziano, Botticelli, Giotto and many others.
From here, it is a very short walk to the splendid Piazza della Signoria, the seat of the city government in the 14th-century Palazzo Vecchio, which is enhanced by the Loggia della Signoria and Neptune's Fountain, as well as a copy of the statue of David.
Strolling just outside the piazza, just a few minutes away you will find the Ponte Vecchio, one of Florence's romantic symbols, with its goldsmith shops and the slowly-flowing Arno, whose banks have many bars and restaurants that are perfect for an aperitif in evening or an enchanting candle-light dinner.
Florence has always been a city for good food and we recommend that you visit the gourmet food and wine shops in the town center to purchase some typical products (egg pasta, deli meats, extra-virgin olive oil and prepared sauces) and stop at one of the many pastry shops to taste the exquisite jam tarts, cantucci (almond cookies) and ravioli filled with chocolate cream.
If you are visiting Florence for business or work, you should know that Hotel Fenice Palace is just 600 meters from the Palazzo dei Congressi conference center and 15 minutes from the multi-purpose Fortezza da Basso trade fair complex (1 km).
