Elegant 19th-century hotel near the sights

The four-star Embassy occupies an elegant 19th-century building, which was once used as horse stables by the grand palace next door. Far from being designed on the hoof, the hotel’s thoughtful interiors combine stylish heritage with cosy interiors and modern fittings. You’ll be staying just a stone’s throw from the city centre and the main train station, Santa Maria Novella. 

Exploring Florence feels effortless, thanks to the hotel’s concierge service. Simply relax and let the expert team find you the best guided tours, restaurants, and bars in the city. After active days out, you can unwind in a comfortable room with a flat-screen TV, minibar, WiFi, and private bathroom. Reflecting the building’s past, some rooms still feature original frescoes.

Served in a rustic room with a vaulted brick ceiling, the buffet breakfast is so indulgent that you really can eat like a horse. Enjoy tucking into lots of traditional Tuscan produce, while also being pampered by the friendly and attentive staff. 

How about this holiday full of unbridled joy… Yay or neigh?

What Embassy has to offer

    Accademia Gallery

    Just a 15-minute drive from the hotel, the Accademia Gallery is home to the most famous sculpture in the world – Michelangelo's David – and a collection of paintings by local artists.

    Ponte Vecchio

    Originally built in 1345 but reconstructed several times since, this was the only Florence bridge to survive the Second World War. Only 20 minutes away by foot, it’s home to cute cafés and quaint shops.

    The Bargello National Museum

    Located in the marvellous Palazzo del Bargello and previously the site of a prison, this museum exhibits Renaissance sculptures and works of art. It’s just a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel.

    Find out more about Florence

     As one of Europe's most historically important cities, Florence hardly needs an introduction. This sunny and startlingly pretty city in central Italy is where the Renaissance is said to have been born, through the genius of the enquiring minds that lived and thrived here. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Dante are just a few of the legendary names who called Tuscany's great capital home, and goodness, did they leave their marks on the city. Follow in the footsteps of Europe's most talented Renaissance men, treat your taste buds to hearty Tuscan treats and feast your eyes on more medieval art and architecture than you can handle on a holiday to Florence. 

    You can get a feel for the energy and turbulence of the city's past just by walking around its UNESCO-protected historic centre. At every turn, you'll find a magnificent building, an ancient square or a stunning bridge, each with a story to tell. There's simply no doubt about it, Florence is one of the world's most beautiful cities, a fact celebrated and reaffirmed by the masterpieces of art and sculpture that hang in its many high calibre museums.
