There is something instantly familiar about Florence. It is one of those cities which when visiting, even for the first time, feels like visiting an old friend. It is a familiarity borne from a set of attractions which, like the renaissance masters who created them, define not just a city but a cultural revolution. One of the most famous streets in the city is Via de 'Cerretani, which links the Santa Maria Novella Square, church and train station, with the Duomo, the city's most striking architectural landmark. It is a street in which to find another familiar face, the Best Western Laurus Al Duomo, a hotel which finds a comfortable home amidst the great wonders of the city.
A location convenient for both the train station and the Duomo is a great prize indeed for a hotel but it means also a location ideal for exploring the best of the old city on foot. There is parking available at the hotel, so arrive and leave the car, or arrive by train and simply step outside to take in the Uffizi Gallery, the Art School with Michelangelo's David, perhaps cross the the Ponte Vecchio to the Pitti Palace, or indulge in more contemporary delights with some shopping, dining and drinks, and all at the end of a leisurely stroll in a beautiful city.
For those who would rather away from the hustle and bustle of the busy street, the Duomo and Giotto's Tower form a breathtaking backdrop to a rooftop garden and terrace dining. Thus, the Best Western Laurus Al Duomo allows guests to find a place of solace in a vibrant city and lose none of the vistas, and to experience that sense of familiarity which comes, not just from a great location in a famous city but also from consistently high levels of service and hospitality. |
