Renaissance charm in the city
Housed in a porticoed building overlooking the elegant Piazza della Libertà, Ruby Bea Hotel is an ideal retreat on the edge of Florence’s historic centre. A 10-minute walk takes you to world-famous attractions like the Accademia Gallery and the Duomo, with the Arno River nearby for scenic strolls.
Ruby Bea combines style and comfort. The rooftop terrace is perfect for unwinding with panoramic views of the city, while each room is a cosy sanctuary designed for rest – with warm wood panelling and oversized beds. Throughout the hotel, artistic touches inspired by the Italian Renaissance add flair, from eye-catching artwork in the bar to thoughtful design details that echo the city’s creative spirit. And the rooftop terrace is the perfect place to savour a drink as the sun sets, casting Florence in a golden glow.
Kick off your morning with a feast of locally sourced delights including warm, freshly baked bread, flaky pastries, rich local cheeses, and irresistible cured meats. Pair it with as much barista-made coffee or organic tea as your heart desires – it’s bottomless, after all! When hunger strikes later, tuck into Italian-inspired bites at the bar, or step out and explore the nearby trattorias and osterias, where you’ll find hearty Tuscan classics and gelato so creamy it’s practically an art form.
Ruby Bea is where Florence’s history meets contemporary charm. With incredible views, Renaissance-style design, and a fantastic location, it’s an ideal spot for experiencing this enchanting city. Buon viaggio!
