Hotel Savoy, Florence, Tuscany, Italy

At the crossroads of art and elegance, the Hotel Savoy captures the timeless grace of Florence. 

Overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, this boutique historical hotel—with 80 rooms and suites—blends classic Italian refinement with a touch of modern design by Olga Polizzi.

• Wellness Touches: Small but serene gym and in-room spa treatments.
• Rocco Forte Heritage: Personalized service infused with Italian warmth and sophistication.

A Day at the Hotel Savoy

Espresso and cornetto on your balcony as the Duomo’s bells echo across Florence.

A stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, the Arno shimmering in gold.

Night

Return to silk sheets and the scent of lilies drifting from the square below.

Insider Tips for Hotel Savoy

• Go early in the morning to see Florence before crowds fill the streets.
• Noise warning: Rooms facing the piazza have beautiful views but can be loud from music and street life.
• Try the bar’s signature Negroni—it’s a local legend
• Excellent concierge team—they’ll help you access the “insider’s Florence,” from art galleries to non-touristy trattorias.
• Book early or through Rocco Forte’s site for perks (room upgrades or early check-in)
• Buy your own bottled water—the hotel offers very little.
