IL Tornabuoni
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the designer boutiques and Renaissance buildings of one of Florence’s most exclusive streets, Il Tornabuoni is a stylish addition to the city’s growing portfolio of intimate hotels. Settle into refined rooms, sip a Campari Spritz at the rooftop Butterfly Terrace with magical city views, and take a wander along the pedestrian-only Via Tornabuoni.
Housed in a 12th-century palazzo, every corner of the hotel has been touched by a polished refurbishment, adding modern flourishes of custom wallpapers, hardwood floors and luxurious silks to the historic frescoes and marble floors. The 62 rooms and suites are a refined affair, with avant-garde interiors giving a tasteful nod to old and new.
On the ground floor, you will find the bistro-style Il Magnifico restaurant and cafe, with a pavement terrace for whiling away summer hours soaking up the atmosphere of the city. Alongside the authentic tastes of Italy, diners can expect a wine list that showcases the very best of Tuscany, while up on the rooftop, the Butterfly Terrace serves signature cocktails against the backdrop of live music.
Make the most of the hotel’s fabulous location with iconic sites like the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio only minutes away on foot. Meanwhile, just over Ponte Santa Trinità lies the lively Oltrarno neighbourhood with its restaurants, boutiques and nightlife scene.
