Hilton opens First Hilton Garden Inn hotel in Italy

Hilton Hotels has opened its first mid market hotel in Italy, the Hilton Garden Inn Florence Novoli, located at Via Sandro Pertini, 29 50127 in Florence, Italy, following the unveiling of the brand in Germany in September.

The Florence opening is the second peg in the company’s strategy to expand its presence in Europe by developing new brands, including the Hilton Garden Inn mid-priced brand, that are part of the Hilton Family of Hotels with locations throughout North America. Hilton opened its first Hilton Garden Inn hotel outside the USA in Stuttgart on September 19, while the 282-room Hilton Garden Inn Rome Airport is set to open December this year.

According to Adrian Kurre, senior vice president for Hilton Garden Inn, “We are proud to bring a new hotel option for European travelers and provide the same level of service and quality offerings that have made Hilton Garden Inn the preferred hotel choice for mid-market travelers throughout North America.”

The Hilton Garden Inn Florence Novoli is located in the heart of the new business/residential area in the northern part of Florence that includes the new Justice Courtrooms and the new University Centre. Just three km from the Florence International Airport “Amerigo Vespucci”, the hotel is also an easy drive to the world famous attractions such as the Uffizi Gallery and the legendary Duomo.

Designed with business convenience and practicality in mind, the 121-room hotel features key Hilton Garden Inn brand attributes like complimentary wireless high speed Internet access, the Garden Sleep System bed, ergonomic Mirra chair by Herman Miller, a spacious work desk, air conditioning, mini refrigerator and LCD satellite television.

Travellers to the Hilton Garden Florence Novoli can also benefit from a flexible meeting space with the capacity for 150 delegates; a boardroom; a complimentary workout facility; and on-site hotel parking.

The new property is outfitted with complimentary WiFi in public areas; 24-hour business centre; a full service restaurant offering cooked-to-order breakfast, lunch and dinner, evening room service; lounge area and bar (for guests of legal drinking age); and a Pavilion Pantry offering snacks, beverages and microwaveable items as well as various sundries.
