Florence owes much of its great riches in architecture, art and and culture to the Medici family but this is not the only family associated with the famous Tuscan city and cradle of the renaissance. Local rivals the Strozzi family had their own power base in the city and were also patrons of the arts. Their most famous Architectural legacy is the Strozzi Palace, a major attraction situated just north of the Arno River in the heart of the old city. Right next door to the palace is a further Strozzi home, now the Golden Tower Hotel, a place in which to enjoy the very best in boutique style accommodation.

One c an only imagine Florentine life in the 16^th century but it is possible to get a real feel for the period by staying in  the Golden Tower just as the Strozzis did during the city's golden age. Where the Medici buildings and palaces were all about flamboyance and ostentatious displays of wealth and power, the Strozzi architecture is different. Here there is rusticated stone work, which is elegant and timeless, and a harmonious symmetry to the interiors which mirrors the exterior plan of the palace, unusual for Florence in being a stand alone structure.

There could scarcely be a better environment for a boutique hotel and especially when it is the Golden Tower Hotel, an establishment where modern living and leisure take place against a 15^th century backdrop of exposed stone, wooden beams and frescoes. It is easy to imbibe some of that great history when staying in one of the city's most historic locales and the hotel has lost none of its appeal over the centuries.  However, it is just as easy to shop for designer fashions and come home to all the contemporary comforts and technologies which define the high life in modern Florence.
