We recently stayed here for a few days as part of our honeymoon through Italy. The location could not be more perfect- just steps from Florence's best shopping and restaurants. The hotel staff were amazing- extremely helpful and courteous. We had a car and it was 40 Euro a day to park- cheaper than in Milan. The hotel is beautifully... more

I've been to several hotels in Florence- this is by FAR the best in the city. You might hear great things about the Savoy and the Lungarno and some others, and those hotels are lovely... but the Helvetia and Bristol is AMAZING. First, the location is nothing short of perfection. A 10-minute walk to the train station, and 3 mintues... more

A little gem in the best location, the Helvetia has extremely friendly and helpful staff. The concierge did a heroic job helping us recover our luggage lost by Alitalia. Our suite was gorgeous. The well functioning air conditioning was a life saver in the stiffling June heat. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel restaurant was very good, but outrageously priced even... more

The Helvetia and Bristol is the closest luxury hotel to Il Duomo. It is very beautiful and the restaurant is excellent. The rooms are large and comfortable and I think they are all suites or mini-suites. more
