Housed in a 17th century building in the heart of the city, the Cellai is a truly stunning hotel that perfectly captures the elegance of an era when young aristocrats visited Florence to appreciate its fine art and architecture. With its terracotta f loors, magnificent beamed ceilings and stone archways, the architecture of this wonderful hotel provides a perfect backdrop for the antique furniture and paintings that you will find in every room.
The Cellai incorporates a series of lounges that are bursting with works of art.
One is a dedicated exhibition space for local artists while another showcases the manager’s personal collection. Some areas are devoted to particular styles of painting, while one corridor features works created by teachers at Florence’s Fine Art Academy. The hotel has a beautifully flowered roof terrace with great views of the city, while its magnificent rooms are filled with precious materials and authentic Italian antiques. The Baroque atmosphere is enhanced with luxurious fabrics in striking colours, making each room a masterpiece in its own right.
