TripAdvisor traveller rating

Based on 327 reviews

The luxurious Helvetia & Bristol is part of the 'Leading Hotels of the World' and lies virtually a stone’s throw away from the Piazza Repubblica. Set in a building dating back to the 19th century, this magnificent hotel was later extensively renovated to recreate its original décor consisting of antiques and domed, stained glass ceiling. The hotel also features the cozy Hostaria Bibendum bar and restaurant, which benefits from an al fresco terrace and a conservatory-style winter garden.

Facing Piazza Strozzi, guests have the opportunity to enjoy one of the many first rate exhibitions held in the palazzo before continuing to explore the historic centre, filled to the brim with Renaissance delights. The Helvetia & Bristol offers a haven of peace, elegance and grace in the heart of Florence, and is ideally placed for exploring the historical sights and the chic boutiques that decorate Via Tournabuoni.

Citalia does not accept children at this hotel, however this is not an adult-only property.
