VIDEO THE INSIDER TRAVEL REPORT
The Place is a unique, very bespoke hotel in Florence. Our man James Shillinglaw is all over it…
In this video, James interviews the charismatic Claudio Meli, General Manager of The Place Firenze, a boutique, magical hotel, unlike any other in Florence, which has its share of magical hotels. Claudio was recently awarded the distinction of being Virtuoso’s Top General Manager of all luxury hotels in the world.
The Place is part of The Hospitality Experience collection, which has two other rather special hotels in Italy, the Londra Palace in Venice and the Borgio dei Conti Resort in Umbria.
Virtuoso is the leading luxury travel agency group in the world, so they speak with authority. But what makes the nod to Meli so remarkable is that the hotel he manages has only 20 rooms, yet it stands out against the planet’s most luxurious and extravagant, and famous, hospitality palaces.
So this is a hotel we want to know about. Take it away, James.
