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.

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 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.
This hotel has been recently built and is particularly suited to commercial and economic operators in need of fully equipped meeting rooms. There are 77 soundproofed double rooms with all the comforts you would expect of a four-star hotel, as well as a gym and sauna for those hoping to unwind. Although there is heavy traffic on the Viale Palmanova, the residential area in which the hotel is located is quiet but a little out of the way so your own means of transport is indispensible, especially in the evenings, to get to the town center. By way of compensation, there is no trouble parking. There is also a discreet restaurant open to the public with regional and international cuisine.
