RESIDENCE HILDA

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 12, Near to the Duomo, Intimate and discreet, Recently opened, Minimalist design, Convenient suites with kitchenettes, Broadband internet.

• Small and exclusive all-suite hotel that enjoys a central location in the heart of the pedestrian zone just three blocks north of the Duomo and newly opened after an 18-month transformation. With only twelve carefully crafted suites over four floors, this tranquil haven is perfect for families, romantic couples and business guests. A few judiciously placed pieces of classic artwork - such as architectural drawings in the main hall, German romantic paintings in the suites, and old botanic prints contribute great class and character to the modern minimalist design throughout.

• Each of the exclusive suites are identically designed and furnished. Their uncluttered, sleek decor, smooth teak parquet floors, calm off-white walls, soft beige furnishings and the occasional colour accent (among which include relaxing orange sofas and light blue throws on the beds) provide the basis for an exclusive experience in the heart of Florence. All suites are composed of a comfortable bedroom and living room with a spacious bathroom and feature either a kitchenette or fully-fitted kitchen. The furniture is mostly modern Italian designed with some Philippe Starck pieces and the odd family antique. Personal touches include fresh roses grown by the family and those who stay longer than three days receive complimentary bottles of wine and olive oil.
  There is no breakfast room, but you can enjoy breakfast in the suite or step out to the Robiglio cafè, reputed to have the best croissants and pastries in Florence. Many choices exist for lunch and dinner, from the romantic restaurants on the river with live music to typical informal trattoria serving the city's best cuisine. The hotel's delivery service can bring meals from a nearby restaurant or fresh ingredients up to your room if you prefer to have an intimate night in.

• Residence Hilda is located just 3 blocks away from the marvellous Duomo. Its location, right in the centre, is perfect to fully enjoy the charming city of Florence because everything is in walking distance. The area is full of elegant boutiques, excellent cafés, restaurants and bars. The main tourist spots such as the San Lorenzo Basilica, the Cappelle Medicee chapel and the Uffizi Gallery can be easily reached on foot.
