Guests can keep up to date with daily international newspapers and an Internet point available at the hotel bar, while the adjoining lounge is refined in style, and a peaceful spot to peruse the paper. Buffet breakfasts can be enjoyed in the breakfast room, which has preserved most of its architecturally historic facets. The hotel also offers a well equipped gym for those who feel the need to work out, and the multilingual staff can provide tour assistance. Business services are also available. Florence is easily explored on foot and the hotel is within 500 meters of attractions such as the San Lorenzo Market, the Church of St Lawrence, Santa Maria Novella Cloisters and the Cathedral Museum. Florence Airport is 6 kilometres (4 miles) from the hotel. Although the airport is very close to Florence, traffic can be bad in the city, so guests are advised to allow 20 minutes. The airport is a short taxi ride from town (costing 13-16 EUR) although it is also possible to take the half-hourly bus, which transports passengers to Santa Maria Novella Station, in the centre of Florence.
