Hotel Basilea

Housed in a former convent built by Augustinian friars in the 1300s, Hotel Basilea is one of the most historic hotels in the city of Florence, nestled in the beautiful San Lorenzo district, just a stone's throw away from the famous San Lorenzo Market. Not only does the hotel boast an excellent location, but it also offers first-class service from a well-trained and affable staff, poised to ensure that your stay is comfortable and stress-free.

You will find a selection of 38 rooms and family suites at this centrally located three-star hotel. It is this limited number of guest rooms that helps ensure a restful and quiet atmosphere throughout the premises. In each one, you will be greeted by a pleasant décor and a full host of in-room commodities, such as a mini bar and direct telephone line. Reception is open 24 hours a day and in the hall at Hotel Basilea you will find a computer to browse internet and send e-mail whenever you'd like at no additional charge. Furthermore, the hotel's affable staff will be happy to assist you with a map and information regarding the major monuments, restaurants and trattorias to be seen while in town.

Set in one of the most beautiful and historic areas of Florence, San Lorenzo, Hotel Basilea offers comfortable and quaint accommodations near all of the most important sights of the city. In fact, within a five minutes' walk, you will reach both the train station in one direction, and the Palazzo dei Congressi convention centre in the other. The latter is the site where most congresses, conferences and fashion exhibits in the city are held.
