Meeting Sites Pro’s European Fact of the Day: Fact # 8

If you prefer to be near the center of it all while not being in the center of it all, this hotel is perfect for you. In Venice, the Hilton Molino Stucky is situated away from the hustle and bustle of San Marco square, but only a water taxi away from the city proper. The pool is located on the roof and the views are breathtaking. Roms are spacious and modern while the hotel offers top quality service. The hotel has over 10,000 square feet modern and flexible meeting space as well. Whatever the occasion; business or pleasure, this property is one of my favorites.

Meeting Sites Pro's European Fact of the Day: Fact # 7

You could be anywhere staying at the Hilton Florence; a corporate trendy spot located about 15 minutes from downtown Florence. The location is mostly residential with a cinema adjacent and only a couple options for pub like restaurants within walking distance. Most of the meeting space at this property (estimated at about 5,500 square feet) has natural light and is equipped with technology. While this property is good for meetings where you do not want to lose your attendees, it is does not make my top list of Florence hotels.
