Helvetia & Bristol is a magnificent 19th century townhouse, built in 1894, in the heart of Florence's historical center, perfectly placed for a visit to the city's main attractions and a stone's throw from Via de’ Tornabuoni, the city's most exclusive shopping street. Its elegant rooms and suites offer breathtaking views of the city and while the hotel is equipped with the latest modern comforts, its superb renovation has preserved its architectural splendor and the atmosphere of an aristocratic Florentine residence.

Meticulously restored works of art characterize the 64 rooms of the Helvetia Wing and create an atmosphere of discreet and enveloping luxury. The 25 "seductive" rooms and suites located in the Bristol Wing bear the signature of the famous designer Anouska Hempel. The evocative Bristol Winter Garden, covered by the historic Liberty-style glass ceiling, is a versatile ambience, where mirrored screens bestow intimacy to the setting, reflecting the exquisite petroleum blue velvet of the seats, while the sophisticated wallpaper depicting the Tuscan fauna, recalls classic motifs of 18th-century chinoiserie.
