The Helvetia & Bristol has stood in the heart of Florence since 1885, making it the city's first grand hotel and a fixture of the Grand Tour era.
It occupies a nineteenth century townhouse moments from the Duomo and the shopping streets of Via de' Tornabuoni, pairing the original Helvetia wing with a newer wing designed by Anouska Hempel. It earns its place through that unbroken thread of hospitality, matched by a spa built on the site of Roman baths and a kitchen run by the Florentine institution Cibreo.
