Hotel Features. Housed in a former mansion, the Hotel Regency is found in a quiet residential area, overlooking the tree-lined Piazza D'Azeglio. Inside, the hotel is filled with fresh flowers, tapestries and antiques. The hotel also has its own private garden.
Hotel Regency offers guests a complimentary breakfast buffet at its restaurant. Decorated with red walls and crisp white linen over gold damask, the restaurant looks onto the gardens and offers a menu of Tuscan specialities. In summer, guests can dine alfresco.

Guestrooms. Each of the 34 guestrooms at the Hotel Regency are individually dressed in the style of a classic Florentine villa. Furnishings include antiques, mirrored panels, drapes and tapestries. All have dial-up Internet access, bathrobes and slippers and marble bathrooms.
Expert Tip. The antique forte piano in the lounge is an early precursor to the pianoforte, and as such a rare treasure, even in Florence. Although it is now out of tune, the exquisite craftsmanship can still be appreciated.
