    Exceptional Stay

    Even before we arrived,and most certainly once we did, we felt well- taken care off. Prior to our arrival, the concierge team addressed all of my emails and assisted with dinner recommendations and reservations as well as arranging private tours. Every recommendation was excellent and executed seamlessly. An enormous thank you to the entire team. Where do I begin with the attention and exceptional customer service extended by Beatrice in Guest Relations and Noemi, the Front Desk Manager? Both went out of their way to make our stay special and to facilitate our daughter’s transition to the hotel from her Florence Study Abroad program apartment. Nothing we asked was too much trouble and every question met with a smile. We so enjoyed getting to know both of them and they added to our experience that much more. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and professional. Despite the hotel undergoing a renovation, we did not feel our stay was impacted. The breakfast buffet in the Presidential Suite was a perfect alternative to the restaurant and was very comprehensive with a beautiful view. The hotel is charming with so much character and history as well as being spotless. We loved our room overlooking the Arno - it was lovely and elegant. Grazie Mille for a perfect stay! Grazie Mille

    Best hotel in Florence! A must stay that’s entirely worth it.

    This hotel went above & beyond our expectations. Couldn’t recommend it enough for a long or short stay in Florence. The rooms were extremely spacious and kept up so well throughout our 4 days. We looked forward to heading back to our home away from home to escape the long days and unwind. Worth the money! Make sure you have a cocktail and enjoy the live piano player if you get a chance.

    A Beautiful Hotel in a Beautiful City

    We felt wrapped in luxury from the minute we stepped through the revolving door into the beautiful lobby. Porters took our luggage and showed us to the front desk where the clerk went over and above assisting us, answering our many questions. Our room was large and luxurious and the large beautiful bathroom offered a separate shower and oversized bathtub, with all the amenities you could want. The concierge desk was extremely helpful and all assistance was done with a smile. We were located across from the Arno near a wide variety of restaurants and within easy walking distance of Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, and the Ufizzi Gallery. We hope to return to beautiful Florence and would be happy to stay at this hotel again.

    horrible experience. definitely not a 5 star hotel.

    what a horrible experience. this is supposed to be a five star hotel? paid for a superior upgraded room and received a different room. the hotel justified it by stating that the room faced the river which is what i booked. no, i booked an upgraded room with a river view. more importantly, we were placed on the first floor right above the restaurant and the lobby and could hear everything happening below us well into the night. we could even hear the chairs dragging across the floors, the lobby music that played past midnight, and the constant conversation occurring below us and in the neighboring rooms. my wife and i never request service to our room as we prefer to not have people in our room. in turn, we ask for the normal replacement of water and towels every other day or so. we had to request this over and over again before we eventually just went downstairs and retrieved it ourselves. when we tried to speak to the hotel about the issues, they advised they didn't have a solution other than moving us to a new room the day before we checked out or providing us free buffet breakfast for our stay. this was priced at $55/person for a cold mediocre continental breakfast. we were staying there for 6 days and our stay cost over $6000. what a disappointment. 5 star hotel? more like 3 star. we stayed at the Marriot in Rome right before this that is considered a 4 star and it was SIGNIFICANTLY better in all avenues. if you're looking for a 5 star experience, stay away from this property.

    Don’t hesitate to stay here

    Such a wonderful hotel. Beautiful location on a plaza and on the Arno. Easy walk to most locations. Staff so friendly and really went out of the way to make us feel welcome. Room is beautiful and they go the extra mile, leaving chocolates and even a bottle of wine and snacks. Breakfast buffet is wonderful. You can’t go wrong if you are looking for a luxury hotel in Florence.
