Helvetia & Bristol Hotel is a Renaissance period building which has been perfectly maintained and cared for over the centuries. Facing Palazzo Strozzi, in the center of Florence, the Hotel Helvetia & Bristol Florence is situated in the ideal location where you can get to know Florence. The graceful facade and splendid series of public rooms, set off by antique furniture and pictures, first and foremost the set of seventeenth century canvasses of the Florentine School, bring back a world of refined elegance. The lounges, exquisitely decorated with an elegant, yet extremely comfortable, homelike ambiance, exude quality without flamboyance. The entrance is a little on the small side but is watched over by immaculately groomed staff who really try their best to see to a clients every need. The lobby is medium in size and beautifully decorated in a tasteful style which is not dissimilar to the great hall of a nineteenth century aristocrats ancestral home.
