Guestrooms. Set on seven floors, the 74 guestrooms are decorated with light fabrics and pinstriped walls that are offset by the rich brown and copper accents of wenge wood furnishings. Monochrome studies of Florentine landmarks adorn the walls, with further craftsmanship evident in Pietra Serena flooring and the hand-sewn boar- leather headboards and stools. All rooms include minibars, satellite television, and complimentary high-speed Internet connections. Tiled bathrooms include bathrobes, telephones, complimentary toiletries, and hair dryers.
Expert Tip. The 19th-century French novelist Stendhal was so overwhelmed by the artistic abundance encountered in Florence that they named a syndrome after him] The wooziness of Stendhal Syndrome can be avoided by taking the air on a full- or half-day bicycle tour of the beautiful countryside surrounding Florence.
