THE NEIGHBOURHOOD

By plane: direct flights from London to Florence take over 2 hours. The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the airport. Parking nearby costs €60 per day. Book flights to Florence.

THE LOOK AND FEEL

The hotel has a rich history as it dates back to Victorian times and was a stop off on the Grand Tour. A renovation has left the interiors fresh and with contemporary flourishes, while being true to the architectural history. A new 'Bristol' wing occupies what was once the Banca di Roma next door.

THE FACILITIES

There is old-fashioned personal service here and both reception and concierge will help with tips about how to enjoy the city. In the 'Bristol' wing a subterranean spa occupies the site of the old Roman baths and is the largest in Florence. Along with the usual pool, steam and sauna, you can have a water-jet massage.
