The Place Firenze: Luxury Boutique and Private Home Hospitality on the Piazza
The Place Firenze is a refined 5-star boutique hotel located in the heart of the city, directly overlooking the historic Piazza Santa Maria Novella. Renowned for redefining the concept of luxury hospitality, the hotel offers an intimate and personalized experience, where guests are welcomed as if into a private home rather than with a formal reception check-in. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of Florentine elegance, contemporary design, and attentive, yet discreet service, emphasizing the authentic local experience.
Rooms and Suites: Renaissance Elegance and Modern Details
The 20 rooms and suites are true havens of peace and style. The interiors, curated by architect Luigi Fragola, blend the classical architecture of the palace with pieces of Made in Italy designer furniture. Many rooms offer a spectacular view of the Piazza, and all feature high-quality linens, refined marble bathrooms, and complimentary, included minibar drinks and snacks. The Duomo Penthouse is particularly exclusive, boasting a private terrace and a 360-degree view of the city, including the Cathedral.
The Kitchen & The Bar: Flavors and Sociability
The convivial heart of the hotel is The Kitchen & The Bar, a gathering place open all day. The restaurant celebrates Italian and Tuscan cuisine, with sincere and genuine dishes prepared with seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Guests can enjoy meals in an elegant setting with a view of the Piazza. Service includes an exceptional à la carte breakfast, often described as the highlight of the stay. The bar is renowned for its signature cocktails and sophisticated atmosphere.
Exclusive Services and Strategic Location
The service at The Place Firenze stands out for its attention to detail, offering a concierge team that goes beyond the ordinary, arranging unique experiences and exclusive tours. The hotel provides guests with a complimentary portable Wi-Fi hotspot to stay connected throughout the city. The location is unparalleled: just a short walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station, and within easy walking distance of major attractions like the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and the Uffizi Gallery. The hotel also offers affiliated secured parking and a valet service.
Unique Details
A distinctive aspect is the attention to local craftsmanship, evident in the lamps and decor. The Studiolo, a relaxation area within the hotel, celebrates the Renaissance decorations of the nearby Basilica, offering an additional touch of history and art. The resort is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
