Situated on Piazza della Repubblica, Hotel Savoy puts you right at the heart of things. The Column of Abundance, which marks the centre of the city, sits directly opposite.

The hotel is a place that instantly attunes you to the culture of the city, where you can taste the best of Tuscan cooking and sip on the finest local wines.

It’s a place where personal service is delivered with gracious ease.

Hotel Savoy is built on the site where the Mercato Vecchio and church of San Tommaso once stood. Work on the hotel started in 1893. Once completed, it was praised for its modern and luxurious touches — including central heating, an elevator and even electric lights.

It has moved subtly with the times, just like Florence. A new restaurant. A refreshed lobby. 14 renovated suites. Hotel Savoy celebrates contemporary Italian design, yet its foundations are firmly embedded in classic Florentine culture. The carefully chosen ceramics, marble and mosaic, artworks and fabrics mirror the city’s elegance.

Everything that’s great about Florence is within reach.

The hotel is next to the Duomo and within walking distance of the River Arno, Ponte Vecchio, Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace, as well as the finest designer boutiques of Via Roma and Via Tornabuoni.

Centuries of craftsmanship continue nearby with the city’s best shoe and bag-makers.

Like any good hosts, we’re keen to show you around.

Fancy climbing 414 steps to the top of Giotto’s Campanile Tower? Finding the bull’s head at the top of one of the Duomo’s supporting columns? Discovering more about Florentine craftsmanship at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, the Gucci Museum or the School of Leather? Unearthing classic treasures at the Uffizi, the Accademia or the Da Vinci Museum? Exploring an array of exhibitions at Palazzo Strozzi?

Florence is alive with contemporary culture too, with a feast of modern music and cuisine, as well as the Gallery of Modern Art.

With so much to do, making the most of your time in Florence means separating the ordinary from the extraordinary. That’s where we come in.

An authentic Tuscan experience al fresco on the historic piazza, in our restaurant or for more intimate occasions, in one of our two private dining rooms.

i r e n e F i r e n Z e

Florence is a city famous for its food and wine. At our new restaurant you’ll soon discover why. Our Tuscan bistro has a 1950’s design and a menu by Fulvio Pierangelini. Tuscan classics and dishes inspired by nonna Irene, showcasing the best local and seasonal produce. Red prawn tartare, ricotta, shaved artichokes. Ravioli stuffed with pappa al pomodoro. Creamed peas with quinoa. Beef fillet cooked with Tuscan herbs on a Himalayan salt stone. Strawberry and rhubarb soup with vanilla ice cream.

Expertly blended cocktails shaken and stirred to perfection. Sip a Negroni overlooking the piazza with a selection of warm canapés. Nibble on crostone with poached eggs, asparagus, pecorino and truffles. Drink the perfect espresso with biscotti and watch the world go by.

Rocco Forte Hotels is different. Our hotel in Berlin is called Hotel de Rome. Our hotel in Rome is the Hotel de Russie. Each hotel is individual because each city is unique. Our hotels are landmarks right at the very heart of the city, except for our resort, which is suitably remote. They are as much a part of each location’s landscape as the Spanish Steps in Rome or St Isaac’s Cathedral in St Petersburg. They are colourful, characterful buildings with interiors that resonate with the local culture. While each of our hotels has its own personality, our exacting standards ensure a personal and attentive service that unites them all. As a family who has been in hospitality for four generations, we have a warm-hearted approach that is embraced by our hotels.
