The Astoria Hotel Italia could be considered the Waldorf of Udine. The hotel claims a few interesting historical anecdotes: Mussolini visited a little before the march on Rome, and the writer Achille Campanile slept on the hotel pool table one night in 1932 when all the rooms were occupied due to the Tour d'Italia passing through Udine. Today, the Astoria Hotel Italia is Udine's most renowned hotel, and though it no longer has a pool table, it is still the ideal place for a stylish break.
This discreet late-1800s villa boasts a quiet garden to revel in. Relax here if Udine is a little too busy for you. Managed since 1965 by the Clochiatti family and renovated in 1998, this hotel is centrally located and easily reachable from the main train station. This hotel is geared toward business travelers and offers facilities including private parking, fax and photocopying services. The welcoming, family atmosphere is enhanced by the courteous staff that offers speedy yet personalized service.
Guests are welcomed to the entrance hall of the elegant Hotel Ambassador by two marble statues that flank a regal staircase. The hotel is located opposite a small town park half way between the town center and the train station, and is comfortable, discreet and particularly suited to business men and quiet tourists. The hotel has 83 recently renovated rooms with four star comforts, private garages and a lounge for receptions and conventions. Inside there is a renowned restaurant that serves international cuisine and a large selection of à la carte wines.
At the beginning of the century hotel was a changeover point for horses pulling carriages from then Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today, it is one of the city's most important hotels and a favorite of businessmen. Many rooms include video equipment and amplifiers and are suitable for meetings and conferences. The hotel's sports equipment, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts and indoor football ground make it popular with sporty types as well. The hotel hosts fashion shows, gala evenings and small congress meetings, and houses football players for games at the Friuli stadium. The recently enlarged hotel has 64 double rooms, 18 singles and two suites, all with the level of comfort you would expect from a three-star hotel as well as other benefits such as hydro massage, sauna and Turkish baths. An award-winning restaurant on site serves delicious seafood and offers both traditional Friulian dishes and international fare.
