The Athenaeum enjoys a privileged location in the downtown historical centre of Florence. We are situated within walking distance from the most important monuments, from the principal museums, from the main shopping areas as well as from the fairgrounds and the congress hall. The museum of the Academia which houses Michelangelo?s David is just around the corner: we like to say that ?David? is our most famous neighbor.We called the Athenaeum a ?Personal Hotel? because it expresses a particular attitude that we have toward the individual guest which is synthesized by personal attention to the needs and desires of each traveler who chooses to stay at our hotel, whether for business purposes or leisure. Located in a quiet residential area, it is the perfect choice for discerning business traveler or as a base for a relaxing weekend in Florence.
