Hotel Regency
This deluxe five-star, 19th-century villa-style hotel is located on a tranquil piazza in the Santa Croce area, just beyond the hubbub of the historic centre, and set in its own shady garden. The 35 high-ceilinged guestrooms(including eight suites) are grandly furnished with rich fabrics and antiques, giving the impression of a nobleman's private home. All rooms are equipped with a mini-bar, safe and direct-dial telephone but the jewel in the hotel's crown is its gourmet restaurant, Relais le Jardin, a popular choice with well-to-do Florentines and international gastronomes alike. Impeccable service, elegant surroundings and fine dining ensure that this hotel will satisfy even the most aristocratic of leanings.Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio 3
