A stylish city pad
Set in Florence’s Belfiore district, this hotel gives you a fresh, modern base for seeing the city with a little extra edge. You’re well placed for hopping into the historic centre, with Florence’s cathedral, galleries and grand old streets all within easy reach, but the neighbourhood itself has a more contemporary, lived-in feel that makes the whole stay feel a bit more local. It’s the kind of place where museum mornings can turn into rooftop evenings without much effort.
Back at the hotel, the vibe’s sociable, design-led and full of energy. The big headline act is the rooftop, home to the city’s largest panoramic rooftop garden, a seasonal 50-metre pool and plenty of space for lounging, sunset-spotting and generally feeling quite pleased with yourself. There’s also a 24-hour gym, coworking areas, regular events and workshops, so it’s got more going on than your average city hotel.
Food-wise, you’re nicely sorted. There’s all-day dining on site, plus the rooftop bar for shared plates, apericena-style bites and cocktails with a Florence skyline backdrop. The wider area adds even more cafés and restaurants once you head out. All in all, this hotel’s a smart shout for a Florence break with rooftop swagger, a sociable atmosphere and a slightly different take on the city.
