The Heart of Florentine Elegance
Commanding Florence's vibrant Piazza della Repubblica since 1893, Hotel Savoy, a Rocco Forte hotel, marries historic Renaissance splendor with the playful contemporary Italian flair of Director of Design Olga Polizzi. Flanked by high-fashion boutiques along Via de' Tornabuoni and situated midway between the Florence Duomo and the Ponte Vecchio, this 80-room masterwork celebrates Tuscan craftsmanship with bespoke Emilio Pucci fabrics, mosaic-tiled bathrooms, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grand square.
Located at the very epicenter of Florence on the historic Piazza della Repubblica, Hotel Savoy, a Rocco Forte hotel offers travelers an insider's gateway to the Renaissance cradle. Originally opened in 1893 during Florence's golden age of grand hotel design, the property was exquisitely reimagined under the creative direction of Olga Polizzi in collaboration with heritage Italian fashion house Emilio Pucci, creating an ambiance of sophisticated whimsy, vibrant color palettes, and peerless luxury.
The hotel's 80 guestrooms and expansive suites showcase bespoke contemporary furniture crafted by local Tuscan artisans, striking artwork celebrating Italian fashion and classical sculpture, and lavish Carrara marble and mosaic-clad bathrooms. Many accommodations feature private Juliet balconies framing direct views of the Piazza della Repubblica carousel, the Giotto Campanile, and the majestic terracotta dome of Santa Maria del Fiore.
Culinary artistry thrives at Irene, the hotel's celebrated Tuscan bistro curated by Michelin-decorated Creative Director of Food Fulvio Pierangelini, where classic regional recipes are reinvented with light, seasonal ingredients and served either in the chic retro-glam dining room or out on the heated open-air terrace overlooking the lively piazza. Hand-crafted cocktails and vintage Italian aperitivi are poured at Bar Artemisia, while the top-floor fitness center and private wellness suites provide serene rejuvenation infused with Irene Forte Skincare botanicals.
