Experiences

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is often described as an 'open air museum' with all its splendor and beauty, architectural wonders, art, crafts, museums, monuments, churches and hidden gardens. In fact, in 1982, UNESCO declared the historic center of Florence a World Heritage Site. Originating as a Roman town, and later, after a period as a flourishing trading and banking medieval city, it became the birthplace of the Renaissance. From the 14th to the 16th century it was politically, economically and culturally one of the most important cities in Europe. Step into history from our luxury hotel in Florence near the Ponte Vecchio.

UNESCO World Heritage

Let the magic of Florence sweep you off your feet. Known as la culla del Rinascimento — the cradle of the Renaissance — this enchanting city invites you to wander through centuries of art, passion, and timeless beauty. At the heart of Florence’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises the breathtaking Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. With its iconic dome by Brunelleschi and a façade of delicate green, pink, and white marble, the Duomo is a masterpiece that stirs the soul. As the sun sets, its silhouette glows against the Tuscan sky — a view that lingers in memory like a love letter. Stroll hand in hand past the Baptistery of San Giovanni and Giotto’s graceful Campanile, where every detail whispers stories of devotion and artistic genius. In Florence, every corner is a canvas, every moment a memory waiting to be made.

Let your stay be as unforgettable as the city itself.
