Sadly this hotel ownership has decided to prioritize private parties and events to the detriment of hotel guests. It used to be that a hotel guest could enjoy a quiet calm aperitivo with amazing views after a busy day in Florence. However, during the week of my most recent stay (I have been coming since the hotel opened), there were one, sometimes two, “private events” for non-hotel guests at the “Angel” rooftop bar every single night. See attached photos of management warning emails. Even if you show up before these private events are scheduled to begin, entire areas of seating (the tables with views) are now unavailable because they are being “set up” for the later events. In addition, if you stay on the fourth floor directly below the roof, you are subjected to noise and the scraping of furniture, equipment (who knows?) until after these private events conclude, sometimes after midnight. This used to be an oasis of beauty and calm in the middle of the bustling historic center. But it is now time to find a new oasis.
