Hotel Lord Byron
A haven of calm and understated privacy, guests at the Lord Byron are likely to forget the hotel’s greater context within the bustling Eternal City. The property- 32 guestrooms and suites - guarantees uncompromised exclusivity, bordering the vast Borghese Gardens in Rome’s most prominent quarter. Interior decorating is distinctly posh and reflects the elegance and style for which Italy is famous.

Hotel Regency
Once upon a time when the city of Florence was the Italian Capital, Hotel Regency served as a retreat to high government officials and ministers of the State. While more recent renovations have renewed its beauty, the Florentine villa’s qualities and philosophy remain unchanged. 35 rooms and suites, soft Tuscan tones, sweeping draperies, Renaissance art, elegant collector’s furnishings and a delightful urban garden complete the picture, offering guests the comfort of a luxury hotel and the warmth of a private manor. www.regency-hotel.com
