A renaissance romance in the heart of Florence
From the look of the Savoy’s facade, facing onto central
Florence’s Piazza della Repubblica, one would perhaps expect the
sort of arch and historic grand hotel that hasn’t seen so much
as a new set of draperies since it opened in 1893. Perhaps a few
years ago this impression would have been correct, but no
longer, as the Hotel Savoy has recently had a thorough
going-over as a part of its initiation into the Rocco Forte
family.
This is a chic yet eminently livable hotel,
an environment that proves contemporary form and modern function
can quite comfortably coexist. In a sense, it’s the best of two
worlds; the Savoy is absolutely central, steps from Florence’s
Duomo and close by the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio. Here you
can wake up with a view of the Duomo’s cupola or the Piazza
della Repubblica, and in a smartly designed modern hotel room.
Extra fashionista credibility comes courtesy of not just the
location, within spitting distance of Florence’s major fashion
houses, but in the building’s ownership as well - it’s
ultimately owned by the Ferragamo family, which may explain the
persistence of shoe imagery throughout the public spaces.
Savoy Spa Sanctuary
Nestled within the hotel, this boutique spa offers rejuvenating treatments inspired by Tuscan botanicals. Unwind in a steam room or enjoy a signature massage after exploring the city - an intimate wellness retreat just steps from the Duomo.
Savoy's Gourmet Table
At the hotel’s refined dining room, savor modern Italian cuisine crafted from seasonal local ingredients. Whether you're enjoying breakfast, an afternoon aperitivo, or a candlelit dinner, the elegant ambiance and curated wine list enhance every dish.
Stylish Lounge & Bar
Relax in the sophisticated Bar Artemisia, where designer furnishings and curated art set a chic, welcoming vibe. Behind the bar, Maestro Salvatore Calabrese and his team reinvent the aperitivo cocktails while Fulvio Pierangelini combines local ingredients with Artemisia's artistic flair. Vibrant female-produced spirits, super Tuscan wines, and twists on the classics - a menu confident and intriguing, inspired by its namesake.
Rooms & Suites
Experience refined Italian elegance in the heart of Florence at Hotel Savoy. Each room and suite blends contemporary sophistication with classic Tuscan character - think parquet floors, Carrara marble bathrooms, and curated artwork that nods to local history. Whether you’re staying in a stylish Deluxe Room or one of the signature suites, comfort and craftsmanship are at the forefront. The Duomo Presidential Suite offers breathtaking views of Brunelleschi’s dome, while the Panoramic Suite features a private terrace perfect for aperitifs at sunset. Throughout, bespoke furnishings and Italian fabrics create a timeless atmosphere, making every stay feel like a luxurious Florentine residence.
"I stayed here with my family for a one-week vacation, and I have to say - I would happily relive every single day. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, spotless, and we had a lovely view of the plaza. The service was exceptional. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome."
"The Savoy is perfectly placed in the center of it all - landmarks in every direction, and the city at your feet. The beds are so unbelievably comfortable, you’ll need an alarm just to make it to breakfast (worth it, by the way). The newly opened restaurant is a gem - every bite is a reason to stay longer. But what truly makes this place unforgettable is the staff. "
"We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Hotel Savoy for three nights. Not only is it one of the most beautiful hotels I have stayed, it is without a doubt, the best service I have experienced. I wish I could remember everyone’s names to recognize individually. The concierge team was so helpful with nightly dinner reservations."
"I literally can’t say enough good things about this hotel. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, it was a perfect experience. The staff makes you feel special and like you are the only guest there. Unbelievable service and the daily gifts to our room."
"If you’re looking for the best hotel in Florence, Savoy Hotel is it. From the moment you step inside, you’re wrapped in warm vibes, elegant aesthetics, and top-tier hospitality. This place just gets how to make a stay feel special. "
