Overview
Florence would not be Florence without the Hotel Helvetia & Bristol. It is, in fact, not just one of the most luxurious and prestigious hotels of the city but an important symbol of the history of Florence.
Since the second half of the 1800s, its refined and elegant rooms have welcomed illustrious members of the international elite, men such as Nobel Prize winners Pirandello, Enrico Fermi, Bertrand Russell and Mikhail Gorbachev. Many other celebrities from all over the world have also chosen the Helvetia & Bristol as their Florentine residence, not just for its wonderful location and but also for its superb service.
The building that houses the hotel, which dates to the 1800s, has been meticulously renovated and once again glows with its original splendour. The décor and furniture have been beautifully chosen and the ambiences really do reflect Florentine aristocracy in its most elegant period. The rooms boast antiques, the halls proudly display their 17th century paintings and the panoramic suites give onto the timeless beauty of the cupola of the Brunelleschi duomo. To complete this alluring picture there is a delightful winter garden with a Liberty-style glass ceiling.
Some of the most refined and cultured aspects of the history of Florence are reflected in the atmosphere of the Hotel Helvetia & Bristol guest rooms and suites. Each one has been crafted with taste and bestowed with beauty.
Tables of inlaid wood are graced with Chinese porcelain and bronze lamps. This is where D'annunzio and Eleonora Duse spent many of their most romantic moments together, surrounded by ancient paintings, silk and brocade. It is also where such geniuses as composer Igor Stravinsky and Italian Surrealist painter Giorgio De Chirico would reside when in Florence.
Each of the guest rooms has its own very distinct personality and most have wonderful views over the heart of the city. These factors, together with the impeccable service standards, have earned Hotel Helvetia & Bristol the loyalty of an international elite who come to stay here to fulfill their dreams of living in a true and proper private luxury residence in the heart of the timeless beauty of Florence.
While each of our Suites has its very own special personality, they all share the fine harmony of the layout, antiques beautifully in tune with one another and a stunning view of the magnificence of Florence – a symphony composed to imbue you with a deep sense of wellbeing each and every time you visit.
All of our Suites have high speed internet connection, air conditioning, flat screen TV, a safe for your valuables and views of Italy's most glorious art city.
Just steps from Piazza Strozzi, in the very heart of Florence, you will love the Hostaria Bibendum's impeccable service. Wrapped in an old-world elegance, it offers a warm intimacy and one of the finest food experiences in town.
Hotel Helvetia & Bristol is in the heart of Florence, between Piazza della Repubblica and Via Tornabuoni, a few steps from the Duomo, close to all of the city's most important monuments and, of course, all the great shopping.
