Michelin Guide
"Contemporary design by a well known architect and cosmopolitan art exhibited as if in a museum, are the ingredients of the uniqueness and fascination of this really "modern" hotel."
Concierge
"The hotel is popular with fashion and film types, but don't worry: Regular tourists are tolerated too."

"Only a two-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the 74-room Gallery Hotel Art is popular with members of the fashion industry thanks to its stylish interiors by local designer Michele Bönan."

"Don’t wait another minute to make a reservation at this hostel—with only 30 beds and the best value in the neighborhood, it’s no surprise that Academy doesn’t have many last-minute vacancies."
