The Helvetia & Bristol reopened its doors in Florence after having completed an extraordinary expansion and renovation which, thanks to the vision of designer Anouska Hempel and the invaluable contributions of Florence’s master craftsmen, have enriched the hotel’s already charming personality, putting a fresh face on luxury Florentine hospitality. The hotel now features two distinct room design styles to choose from, a classic traditional and a classic contemporary. Two styles that merge harmoniously to express the true soul of the city and create an authentic "sense of place", and intimate connection with the unique history and culture of Florence. An Important novelty on the occasion of the reopening is the inauguration of the Cibrèo Caffè. An exclusive collaboration with an icon of Italian food and wine which aims to further enrich and strengthen the local identity of the Helvetia & Bristol and become a new reference of excellence in the historical center of Florence. Among the most exciting news is the new and sophisticated Helvetia & Bristol SPA. Built on the remains of an original Roman bath (opening by end of the year 2021), this extraordinary space will combine history and present in a spectacular 500 square meters space exclusively dedicated to wellness and beauty. In addition, soon there will be also the grand opening of the new pastry boutique and laboratory of Italy’s number one Master Pastry Chef Iginio Massari.

Florence, a Renaissance city in the heart of Tuscany, has some of Italy's best museums, beautiful cathedrals and churches, and interesting streets and squares with elegant buildings and shops.
The most visited square is Piazza della Signoria, the heart of the historic center and a free open-air sculpture exhibit. Loggia della Signoria holds some important statues such as Michelangelo's David.
Florence's most popular site is its Duomo (cathedral), the Cattedrale de Santa Maria del Fiore. The exterior, made of green, pink, and white marble, has several elaborate doors and interesting statues. Inside, Brunelleschi's Dome is a masterpiece of construction. Buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to the top of the bell tower. The panoramic view of the city is amazing. Please note, is not air-conditioned on the way up, so peak summer months can get very hot, so make sure and bring water.
The Baptistery of John the Baptist, from the 11th century, is one of Florence's oldest buildings. Its exterior is made of green and white marble and has three sets of amazing bronze doors. Inside, you can see some mosaics and a marble pavement of the zodiac.
The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world's most important collection of Renaissance art but it's also Italy's most crowded museum. You can buy tickets ahead to avoid long lines. Better yet, if you purchase a shore excursion or are on one of our escorted tours, your group will have priority access. The Uffizi holds thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times and many antique sculptures, illuminations, and tapestries.
