Hotel Savoy, a Rocco Forte hotel

Hotel Savoy, built 125 years ago in 1893, is located on Piazza della Repubblica in the heart of Florence’s city center, between the Brunelleschi’s Dome and the charming Ponte Vecchio. Each of the 80 rooms and suites have been designed to enhance the Hotel’s timeless elegance and create a predominantly Italian feel, mirroring the essence of Rocco Forte. The 30 suites all have a style merging Florence’s history, culture and fashion, and combine centuries-long heritage with high-end contemporary design. The Grand View Suites and the new impressive Duomo Presidential Suite - that occupies its own wing with splendid views of stunning Dome - are exclusive retreats from the bustling city and are the ideal setting in which to relax and be pampered. Furthermore, on the 5th floor lies the unique two-story Panoramic Suite with breathtaking views of the rooftops of Florence. Irene restaurant & bar, designed by Olga Polizzi, is inspired by a 50’s retro-chic Florentine bistro. The dishes, created by Celebrity Chef Fulvio Pierangelini, recall the rich and traditional Tuscan cuisine made with local and seasonal raw ingredients. The fluid and mostly white space of the entrance and lobby is punctuated with colourful art and design elements, adding a sense of grandeur and glamour to the space.
