Ruby Hotels continues its expansion in the Italian market with the opening of Ruby Bea & Ruby Dante in Florence.

Set in a historic 19th-century building overlooking the Piazza della Libertà, Ruby Bea & Ruby Dante features 118 rooms ranging from five distinct categories, a bar, an outdoor terrace integrating “la dolce vita” and a co-working space.

This later area is Ruby's eighth co-working space and the third combined with a Ruby Hotel, offers 36 workplaces in a 247-square-metre space. There's even a private roof terrace for al fresco working.

The ground floor features typical Florentine arcades, while the high ceilings on the upper floors allow for large 43-square-metre maisonette-style layouts.

The interior design of the property pays homage to the Italian Renaissance and to its visionaries like Dante Alighieri's muse, Beatrice, with an emphasis on local craftsmanship. The walls of the hotel are adorned with works of art that can be viewed with 3D glasses.

The hotel is conveniently located in Florence, near to the old town district of San Marco as well as the Palazzo Medici Riccardi and Fortezza da Basso. The airport is also close.

Ruby Hotels unveils several projects accross Europe lately, wuth for example upcoming openings in Marseille, in Stockholm and Rotterdam.
