A palatial five-star spa hotel
Mamma mia – this one’s too good to miss! Set in the heart of Tuscany’s capital, this five-star hotel is just steps away from iconic landmarks such as the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the Uffizi Gallery – the perfect base for exploring Florence’s rich history and vibrant culture. The surrounding area is also home to high-end boutiques, charming cafés, and renowned restaurants, so you can fully immerse yourself in the city’s unique charm and elegance.
The hotel’s rooms and suites are exquisitely designed, blending classic Florentine style with modern comforts. There are 64 rooms on the Helvetia wing and a further 25 “seductive” rooms and suites on the Bristol wing, which famous designer Anouska Hempel had a hand in. Each room features plush furnishings, marble bathrooms with luxurious toiletries, and state-of-the-art technology, including free wi-fi and flatscreen TVs. Lots of the rooms also have stunning views of the city’s historic streets and landmarks, ensuring a memorable stay.
When you’ve worked up an appetite, there’s a range of exceptional dining options, including the Cibréo Caffé and the Cibréo gourmet restaurant and cocktail bar, which has a glamorous, retro vibe to it. The Bristol Winter Garden is also a crowd-pleaser, where you can dine under the historic Liberty-style glass ceiling, surrounded by lush green palms – this is also where the breakfast by Iginio Massari is served on a daily basis, and you don’t want to miss that.
Perhaps the star of the show at this hotel is the incredible spa. This luxury wellness retreat is located where the ancient Roman baths once stood, and now you can try the modern-day version. You can also indulge in personalised treatments, book in for a massage, and unwind in the care of professionals – now, that’s how to live.

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.
