| WELCOME TO THE ATHENAEUM
HOTEL in Florence

The Hotel Athenaeum enjoys a privileged location
in the downtown historical centre of Florence only minutes
walk from the main attractions including the Duomo, Michelangelo's
David and the Florence Exhibition Centre Fortezza da Basso.
The hotel is also spoiled for shopping and other activities
as well as being very close to some great bars and restaurants.
The Galleria dell'Accademia or museum of the Accademia which
houses Michelangelo’s David is just
around the corner giving us the fame to claim that : “David”
is our neighbor...
The Athenaeum Hotel in Florence is an official
4 star hotel providing award winning quality accommodation
and restaurant facilities. Florence's newest hotel was only
opened in 2004. We wanted to offer something out of the norm
so we opted to call the Athenaeum a "Personal
Hotel" because it expresses a particular attitude
that we have towards each and every individual guest which
is characterised by personal attention to detail, the needs
and desires of each traveler who chooses to stay at our hotel,
whether for business purposes or leisure.
The Athenaeum’s sophisticated style
is quite unique in its kind for Florence 4 Star Hotels
inspired by a magical mix of contemporary design and Tuscan
territory our Hotel has sought to incorporate traditional
and contemporary values of Florentine life... For example
our walls and flooring in the public areas is made of precious
marbles, again marble is used in the bedroom bathrooms and
walls whilst the beds themselves employ leather headboards.
The use of wood is a predominant theme throughout the hotel
Athenaeum and renders the hotel warm and comforting.
Special Lighting Effects
are used to wonderfully throughout the hotel to create a relaxing
environment particularly in our patio restaurant the "Riflessi"
or Reflections where soothing changing pastel colours are
used to enhance the ambience whilst dining (see
the virtual tour of the Restaurant Riflessi Click here).
Indeed, the hotel's computerised lighting system can be changed
to suit a season or particular occasions such as anniversaries,
business functions, xmas parties etc. Other unique features
include our own hotel putting area and practice net for the
golf enthusiast !! (view
the hotel golf virtual tour) Finally, we should include
our private indoor garage on the hotel premises and for exclusive
use by hotel Athenaeum residents and guests.
