Residence Hilda - Florence, Italy 

Residence Hilda details:  Just around the corner from the Accademia Gallery and 5 minutes from the Duomo, lies Residence Hilda, offering modern, airy apartments with all the service of a top class hotel.

Giving you the independence, privacy and peacefulness of your own home, these new suites are fully equipped and beautifully decorated. With soft colours and cutting-edge design, apartments contain a kitchenette, bedroom, lounge and bathroom and all the facilities you could wish for, including internet access.

Attentive staff are always on call to help you with whatever you need. If you don’t feel like shopping but want to cook, you can use Residence Hilda’s grocery delivery service - and even couple it with a cooking lesson. If you don’t feel like cooking at all, you can simply order a complete meal from one of Florence’s best restaurants and have it delivered directly to your door. The suites also benefit from a daily maid service, including the kitchen – even your dishes will be done for you.

Often at smart hotels there's a lot of fuss - porters, time-tabled meals and excursions, cramped surroundings, busy furnishings, other guests - which can leave you less relaxed than when you arrived. At the elegant Residence Hilda you get more privacy than at a 5 star hotel, light and streamlined interiors, designer details conspicuous only by their restraint, and you set the agenda.

If you want to party all night with friends, get up at the crack of dawn to beat other sightseers to the sights, make your own breakfasts, or simply stay in bed until teatime, this is the right place. Here you can come and go as you please with your own pass key. With just 12 carefully crafted suites over four floors, this tranquil haven is perfect for families and party goers alike. Centrally placed in the heart of the pedestrian zone three blocks north of the Duomo, this former old apartment building just opened after an 18-month transformation. The efficient and helpful front desk can book tours and excursions, restaurants and onward travel.
A special attention is given to the children: childbeds, highchairs, anatomic and suffocating preventing pillows are available on request and free of charge.
