HOTEL PARIS, Florence

The hotel is situated in the heart of Florence's historic centre, on Via de' Banchi, between Santa Maria Novella Square and Cathedral Square. The Duomo, Baptistery, and Giotto's Bell Tower are 450 metres away (6 minutes on foot). Ponte Vecchio is 750 metres away (9 minutes), and Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery are within a 10- to 12-minute walk. Santa Maria Novella train station is roughly 5-7 minutes on foot, and the tram from the airport stops at the station. The surrounding streets are pedestrian-friendly and lined with restaurants, shops, and cafés. The hotel's street is quiet enough for a restful night, though room selection matters for noise.

Rooms are decorated with antique furnishings and red carpets, with high ceilings and traditional Florentine character. Smart Rooms (12 m2) are compact with a French bed, suited for short stays. Classic Rooms (16-18 m2) offer standard comfort. Superior Rooms (20-22 m2) provide more space and can be requested with a view. Family Rooms (20-25 m2) include a double bed, a large bathroom, and space for an extra single bed. Deluxe Rooms (30 m2) feature two double canopy beds and marble bathrooms, accommodating up to four adults. Suites (40 m2) showcase historic features like frescoes, wood beams, and non-operational fireplaces, accommodating three adults. Some Superior rooms and one Single/Superior room have a small private terrace on request. All rooms include satellite flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, minibar (paid), electronic safe, adjustable air conditioning/heating, and satellite TV. Marble bathrooms come with bath or shower, hairdryer, and toiletries. Rooms with street-facing windows may experience noise; requesting a room away from the street or on an upper floor improves sleep quality. Some rooms have dimmer lighting due to the historic building constraints.

The breakfast buffet costs €10 per person and includes hot options (eggs, bacon), fresh pastries, yogurt, fruit, bread, cereals, and a coffee machine offering espresso, cappuccino, and plant-based milk (soy milk available). Gluten-free products are available on request. For early departures, a packed breakfast can be ordered the evening before. Room service is available from 07:00-10:00 for an extra charge. The breakfast room remains accessible all day for complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks. A coffee shop on-site offers additional purchases. The hotel's reception can arrange tickets for local restaurants, and the location is surrounded by numerous dining options within a short walk.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and an internet point is also available. The property offers a 24-hour front desk, currency exchange, and concierge service for booking tours, museum tickets (including priority entry for Uffizi and Accademia), taxis, and restaurant recommendations. Luggage storage is free and available before check-in and after check-out. Laundry, dry cleaning, and ironing services operate Monday-Saturday (excluding holidays); items dropped off by 10:30 return after 20:00 the same day. Daily housekeeping is included. The lift serves three of the four floors, with a short flight of stairs to reach the first-floor breakfast room and terrace; rooms on the same level as the lift can be requested for those with mobility needs. Pets are allowed on request without extra charges, with pet beds, bowls, and litter provided. Baby cots, bed rails, high chairs, and baby-sitting (payable) are available.
