Seven floors make the tower one of Florence's taller buildings, and there is a splendid suite crowning the Hotel on the top floor. On the sixth floor the guest can either relax in the café lounge, at the bar or out on one of two spacious terraces, all while enjoying a magnificent view of Florence's skyline and major monuments.
