Hotel Ariele, Florence

Hotel Description

This charming hotel, housed in a restored 18th century palace, offers comfortable accommodation in front of the Teatro Comunale and just a short stroll from the city’s main historical attractions.

Conveniently situated in a quiet, residential area near the banks of the Arno River, and a short walk from Santa Maria Novella railway station; this hotel is the ideal base for a sightseeing holiday in Florence. Spend a day visiting the Uffizi gallery, the Bargello museum and the beautiful Cathedral San Maria de Fiore before relaxing in the hotel’s spacious garden and enjoying a drink form the bar.

The friendly staff at this family-run hotel will be happy to help you make museum reservations and book excursions to Florence and the surrounding areas of Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and Lucca.

The hotel was built over 2 time periods. The 1st part of the residence was built from an old tower dating back to 1400, the 2nd from a prestigious palace built in 1700.

When Florence was the capital of Italy, at the end of 1800, the whole hotel was renovated by the famous architect Giuseppe Poggi, designer of Piazzale Michelangelo.

In the past, the building has been home to various embassies and the residence of a number of famous Florentine families, including the Arcangeli of Strozzavolpe. Later transformed into a hotel, the building still maintains the style and atmosphere of an old noble Florentine home.
