In certain European hotels, I ask them to confirm in writing that the hotel and my room will have working air conditioning and that it will be available during my stay. I don't rely on descriptions that the hotel has AC as I have experienced the OP's problem that it won't be turned on before July 1 in some "luxury" hotels in Italy.
