Regency Hotel
Hotel Overview
Once upon a time when the city of Florence was the Italian Capital,
Hotel Regency served as a retreat to high government officials and ministers
of the state. Today, the nineteenth century villa located in the heart of
Florence is a five star property belonging to the prestigious chain of The
Leading Hotels of the World. Nevertheless, time is irrelevant as at Hotel
Regency it seems to have been virtually stopped. The hotel overlooks
pristine Piazza D'Azeglio, is framed by monasteries, ancient cloisters,
famous museums and even more impressive, maintains the private villa-like air
about it, ensuring travelers a most memorable unique experience.
In the spirit of a true European boutique hotel, the Regency turns
back time to a day when ladies and gentlemen traveled in their
Sunday best and
vintage hospitality was the standard. While
more recent renovations have renewed its beauty, the Florentine villa qualities
and philosophy remain unchanged.
Location
Located in the very heart of Florence, dominating one of the city's "Living-room
Piazzas", in close vicinity to main monuments and attractions, Hotel Regency
is a heavenly retreat. Just a brisk walk away from the city centre, this prized
location is adored by those travellers wishing to enjoy the artistic treasures
of the renaissance capital while maintaining their privacy.
