Refined hotel with chic decor, Florentine art, and terrace dining
"A fixture in Florence’s hotel scene and a favorite among the city’s elite since 1893, this Rocco Forte masterpiece blends grand tradition with modern elegance on Piazza della Repubblica, just steps from the Duomo, Uffizi, and Ponte Vecchio. Interiors by Olga Polizzi and the Emilio Pucci fashion house mix Renaissance charm with contemporary, colorful flair, and the 80 stylish rooms and suites come with marble bathrooms, Illy espresso machines, and views of the Duomo or the bustling square. Contemporary Tuscan cuisine awaits at the hotel’s restaurant, Irene, or you can sip an aperitivo on the terrace overlooking the Piazza and its historic vintage carousel; fashion‑inspired designer suites and exclusive guest experiences elevate the stay." - Barbara Balfour
"A hotel that can arrange seasonal excursions such as truffle-hunting trips via a vintage car; these curated experiences take guests through scenic views of iconic city overlooks before heading into the Tuscan hills for truffle searches." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"A drink on the terrace of the Hotel Savoy, overlooking the promenading crowds and vintage carousel in the Piazza della Repubblica, has long been a signature Florence experience. And it still is—though the setting is now new and improved. The iconic Rocco Forte property, first opened in 1893, re-opened in April 2018 after a six-month renovation with interiors re-imagined by Olga Polizzi (Director of Design for Rocco Forte Hotels, and sister of hotelier Sir Rocco Forte) and Laudomia Pucci (Image Director of the Emilio Pucci fashion house, and daughter of its founder.) With the renovation, the hotel reduced its number of rooms from 102 to 80; suites also come with upgraded amenities (like Illy espresso machines and, in some cases, balconies) and prime views (though most rooms look out onto the Duomo, the Piazza, or a charming side street), while all accommodations have a residential-style feel, shelves lined with books and flea market-sourced objets, interactive TVs, and top-of-the-line bedding." - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo
