The first-floor of the hotel doubles as an event space, and showcases original 1920s Tiffany-style stained-glass windows. Downstairs, a private museum features antique ceramics, crockery, and original Roman baths. Guests can wine and dine in the Santa Elisabetta Restaurant, which offers buffet breakfasts and a la carte Italian cuisine at lunch and dinner.

Hotel guests will find themselves right in the heart of historic Florence; the Bargello, San Lorenzo church and the shops and boutiques on Via Tornabouni are just three blocks away. The hotel is approximately 10 kilometers and a twenty-minute drive from Florence Airport. Taxis are commonly used to get from the airport to town, although it is also possible to take the half- hourly bus to Santa Maria Novella Station in the center of Florence.
