Helvetia&Bristol Firenze: Iconic 5-Star Luxury Hotel with the Largest SPA in the Historic Center

The Helvetia&Bristol Firenze – Starhotels Collezione is a prestigious 5-Star Luxury Hotel located in the heart of Florence's historic center, a few steps from major attractions (Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, Uffizi) and the high-fashion boutiques of Via de' Tornabuoni. The historic residence combines two palaces and, after a recent renovation, offers an Italian "Grande Bellezza" experience that blends Belle Époque style with contemporary design.

Luxury Rooms and Suites Blending History and Design

The hotel offers approximately 91 rooms and suites, divided between the historic "Helvetia" wing (with antique furniture, marble, and Florentine fabrics) and the "Bristol" wing (with interiors curated by designer Anouska Hempel, featuring a more modern taste). All accommodations are soundproofed, equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, Smart TV with Sky Silver System, minibar, and safe. Superior category Suites, such as the Panoramic Suite, boast breathtaking views of Florence's iconic monuments, including the Duomo and Giotto's Campanile.

The SPA: A Journey into the Ancient Roman Baths

The hotel's highlight is The SPA, the largest and most luxurious wellness center in the historic center (about 550 sqm), built on the site of the ancient Capitoline Baths of Roman Florentia. The wellness path, inspired by Roman baths, includes: Calidarium (Hammam/Steam Bath), Sudatorium (Finnish Sauna), Frigidarium (Cold Pool), Tepidarium, Salt Room, and two scenic pools (Lacus Quietis), in addition to the Emotional Showers. Massages and wellness treatments are available, including a Private SPA Suite with a hot tub. There is also an Internal Gym open 24/7.

Signature Dining (Cibrèo) and Exclusive Services

The culinary offer is signed by the renowned Cibrèo. The Cibrèo Ristorante & Cocktail Bar offers regional cuisine and Florentine classics in an elegant setting. The Cibrèo Caffè is ideal for breakfasts, light lunches, and outdoor aperitifs. The day begins with a rich buffet breakfast.
