Hotel Description

In front of Palazzo Strozzi, in the centre of Florence, the Helvetia & Bristol is not only one of the city�s finest luxury hotels, but also part of the city�s history. For more than a century it has been the home away from home of many a distinguished visitor to the city, from young aristocrats on their Grand Tour to Pirandello and Montale, Stravinsky and Gorbachev. Owner Luigi de Simone Niquesa restored the historic mansion with meticulous care and respect. Materials and furnishings evoke a world of refined elegance in the antique-filled guest rooms and the drawing-rooms with their fine XVII-century paintings. On the fifth floor, the great windows of the two panoramic suites frame views of Brunelleschi�s cupola at the top of the Duomo, so near that it seems one need only reach out to brush it with a fingertip. As in days past, the Giardino d�Inverno is a meeting place for local litterati and the Florentine aristocracy, where chef Marco Tremonte serves an innovative cuisine which re-interprets traditional Tuscan recipes. Only a few minutes walk from the Duomo between Via Tomabuoni Palazzo Strozziis one of the world's most beautiful hotels. Built in the nineteenth century and restored to its original glory.
