Hotel Savoy
To those visiting Florence, Hotel Savoy is the perfect place to absorb the exhilarating atmosphere of Florence. Inaugurated in 1893, it was known as one of the most modern and luxurious hotels of that period. Now, it has been modernly re-styled by Olga Polizzi.
Hotel Savoy has 102 luxury rooms, including 14 newly redesigned suites, with their charming views over Piazza della Repubblica and contemporary Italian-style rooms and suites, featuring carefully chosen ceramics and mosaics. Hotel guests can enjoy private steam rooms located in the Brunelleschi Suite and Signori Suite. The fitness center on the top floor has panoramic views over the Duomo. Better yet, within walking distance are elegant shopping streets and monuments.
When you’re at Hotel Savoy, you must stop by Irene Restaurant, which offers a great dining experience – a journey through flavor and tradition with simple, authentic flavors, and light and healthy reinventions of Tuscan classics. If you’re a passionate foodie, you’ll get to enjoy dishes like Lemon and Parmesan Stracciatella soup, and Tagliolini with fava bean and fresh Tillos sheep cheese.Interested in art and culture?
