The bar in the Gallery Hotel Art is one of the hip places of Florence. Make sure you visit after a day of sightseeing and enjoy one of their creative cocktails. The fusion restaurant is lovely and well priced. The food is delicious and beautiful to look at.
If you are driving into Florence, inform the hotel in advance. It’s located in an area with restricted traffic. There are parking garages located nearby.
It’s better to have the rooms located further up. They are more spacious, and have better balcony and view.
