Florence: the city of art par excellence, the cradle of the renaissance, one of the most popular destinations for travelers around the world. It is there that Hilton has opened its new facility: it is called Anglo American Hotel Florence, Curio Collection by Hilton, has 118 rooms and a charming inner courtyard, and is a 15-minute walk from the most important tourist and cultural destinations of the Tuscan capital.
In this article:
The Anglo American Hotel Florence Curio Collection by Hilton, originally built in the 1800s and located in the center of the city, reopens its doors after a long restructuring process curated by Italian architect Chiara Caberlon. The structure celebrates the charm of the 1920s: in the restoration process there was special attention to the preservation of the main historical elements but it was also decided to opt for a modern and elegant design. The rooms and suites, decorated with a color palette featuring vibrant colors, create a totally unique and uncommon atmosphere.
Not only aesthetics, also practicality. The new Curio Collection in Florence - to meet the needs of business customers as well - features two meeting rooms (with a maximum capacity of 70 people) as well as a gym.
"The natural beauty and unique culture of Tuscany have always attracted travelers from all corners of the world" - stated Simon Vincent, Executive Vice President & President Europe, Middle East & Africa at Hilton - "Featuring unique design and culinary offerings inspired by local cuisine, Anglo American Hotel Florence, Curio Collection by Hilton, is a precious gem that enriches the vibrant landscape of Florentine hospitality. To the millions of visitors who flock to the city each year to admire its Renaissance art, historic architecture and illustrious cultural heritage, Florence offers a wide range of activities and places to discover. We are extremely proud to inaugurate our new Hilton property here by warmly welcoming our guests."
Claudia Bisaccioni, Sales Manager, Anglo American Hotel Florence, Curio Collection by Hilton he stated: "We are delighted to welcome guests to Anglo American Hotel Florence, Curio Collection by Hilton. Built in 1892 as one of the first hotels in Florence, this historic building has hosted such illustrious personalities as Leo Tolstoy, Carla Fracci, Rudol'f Nureev, Maria Callas, among others. Completely restored, Anglo American Hotel Florence retains its historic and elegant grandeur intact. Strategically located in the historic center of Florence, the hotel offers guests a complete experience with all the amenities that define a truly exceptional stay."
There are two goodies in this new facility: the Whisper Wine Bar and Courtyard and the Vivi Bistro.
Favorite place of the Anglo-American community in Florence - particularly of the English women who, in the 1930s, used to gather here to "gossip" about Tuscan society-the Whisper bar, located in the center of the hotel, offers an extensive selection of wines, drinks and cocktails; guests can choose to sip their glass while sitting at the bar or, instead, relax in the garden In the shade of parasols.
If you can drink well at Whisper, you can eat just as well at Vivi Bistro: here you can discover and appreciate the local cuisine (and, why not, also international) with fresh ingredients; whether you want to have breakfast or lunch or dinner, at Vivi Bistrot you will not starve and, indeed, you will find a wide selection of dishes.
