This new elegant boutique hotel is something very special!
In a quiet and discreet street, far away from the hustle and bustle, but only a few minutes’ walk from Florence’s most famous sights, you will find the new boutique hotel The James in the historic center of Florence.
The palazzo that now houses The James is engraved with the year it was built: 1564. A famous year in which Michelangelo died, while Galileo and Shakespeare were born. From the outside, the façade reveals nothing of the completely redesigned interior.
The hotel is just a few steps away from the cathedral, the piazza pearls and the charming Via Gioielli.
The building, which was originally built as a monastery, has retained the original structure of the old Renaissance merchant palaces. In many suites you can see the original fresco paintings on the ceilings and walls.
In this 16th century palazzo, each room and suite is a small design revelation in itself, made up of selected objects, custom-made furniture, high-quality fabrics and coordinated lighting.
The hotel has a cozy lounge bar and a restaurant in a conservatory lined with tropical plants.
The restaurant area is reminiscent of a private riad, as you would only find in Marrakech!
A special highlight is the so-called “Carbonara Cocktail”, which is served in a cocktail shaker.
The hotel’s own rooftop garden will soon open with a wonderful view over the rooftops of Florence.
Conclusion: A new insider tip for lovers of boutique hotels who appreciate a retreat in an elegant, private atmosphere!
