Hotel Savoy Florence
Refined contemporary Italian with Renaissance heritage references. Think Loro Piana fabrics, hand-blown Venetian chandeliers, Pietrasanta marble, and Tuscan silk. Polished but not stuffy. The kind of place that has a bar named after Artemisia Gentileschi.
Book a Piazza della Repubblica-facing room for the best views, but know the square can be noisy at night
Why It Matters
Unbeatable central Florence location on Piazza della Repubblica with direct Duomo views. Forbes Travel Guide 5-Star in both 2024 and 2025, Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice #3 in Florence for 2025, and on T+L's 500 Best Hotels list. The only five-star in Florence that manages to feel genuinely contemporary. The Telegraph called it 'the only one of Florence's five-star hotels that manages to preserve its grand hotel cachet while seeming fresh, hip and artsy.'
Hotel Savoy sits right on Piazza della Repubblica, which means your neighbors are the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the luxury shopping of Via de' Tornabuoni. The building dates to 1893, but the interior is anything but fusty — Olga Polizzi redid it in signature prints and Renaissance antiques, and the result feels like a beautifully edited Florentine home rather than a museum piece. Chef Fulvio Pierangelini runs the kitchen at Irene with a laser focus on seasonal Tuscan produce.
