Historical Building Background

The hotel occupies a historical building known as the hiding place of the Mona Lisa after it was stolen from the Louvre in 1913. Its location on a ZTL (limited traffic zone) street connecting Santa Maria Novella station to the Duomo makes it accessible without a car.

“There's a compelling story behind this building, the tale of recovering the Mona Lisa adding to its charm. I appreciate that it's not just history; the boutique style, spacious rooms, and extra touches like champagne elevate it. Despite a review mentioning needed renovations, the concept and central location make it intriguing.”
