About
The James Suite Hotel Firenze 1564 - Small Luxury Hotels Of The World
The James Suite Hotel Firenze 1564 occupies a converted convent in Florence's historic centre, offering a distinctly characterful stay. With 21 rooms, it is small enough to feel personal, and the recent renovation has earned praise from guests. The hotel sits on a quiet street, yet major sights are within easy reach.
A 9-minute walk brings you to the Gallerie Degli Uffizi, and the lively squares and cathedrals are even closer. Rooms come with parquet floors, air conditioning, and coffee machines, with suites featuring bathtubs and some offering balconies or terraces. The staff consistently receive top marks for their service, and the downstairs bar is a popular spot for an evening drink.
