• Four Seasons: The former Palazzo della Gherardesca is today the Four Seasons Firenze and one of the most luxurious address in Tuscany. Original frescoes on the 15th-century walls, sumptuous decor, and some of the city's finest dining are just a few of the earthly delights you'll find here.
  • Helvetia & Bristol: This most central of Florence's luxury addresses was the city's leading hotel in the 19th century, and guest rooms and lounges still exude an opulent turn-of-the-20th-century air. The bright and refreshing small Winter Garden bar, with trailing ivy and a splashing fountain, doubles as the breakfast room. The location, opposite the Strozzi and a few paces from Via de' Tornabuoni, could hardly be better for a shopping- and culture-fueled visit.
  • Residence Hilda: Step off the Renaissance square of Santissima Annunziata right into the 21st century at this apartment building, where clean, contemporary design is complemented by high-quality modern conveniences. Add hotel amenities to those cool, airy spaces, stripped-wood floors, and cream walls and fabrics, then throw in a management team who can't do enough to help you out, and you have just about the perfect Florence accommodation package. Oh, and did we mention it's just 2 blocks from the Duomo?
