The ao Hostels second Italian hotel is due to open in Florence in 2024.
The new hostel will have 470 beds
After a work stoppage due to the pandemic, which forced the group to postpone the opening originally planned for early 2022, ao Hostels now confirms the opening of its new hostel in Florence in spring 2024. Located in Via Mannelli 119, opposite the Campo Marte station, the property will have 121 rooms and 470 beds.
“The opening of our second Italian hostel is scheduled for 2024”
"The work continues unabated, and we are very happy to be able to schedule the opening of our second Italian hostel for 2024 - says the German company's CEO, Oliver Winter. - We have signed a long-term lease for the property, and the cooperation with the municipality of Florence has been, and still is, very positive."
The property will be energy efficient and sustainable
The building, which once housed the administrative offices of the Tuscan city, is being completely renovated: from the interiors to the 1963 façade, which will be preserved. In addition to dividing up the space to make room for the reception, lobby, breakfast room and 121 rooms, the work will mainly focus on making the building energy efficient and sustainable.
