The Helvetia & Bristol reopened its doors in Florence after having completed an extraordinary expansion and renovation which, thanks to the vision of designer Anouska Hempel and the invaluable contributions of Florence’s master craftsmen, have enriched the hotel’s already charming personality, putting a fresh face on luxury Florentine hospitality. The hotel now features two distinct room design styles to choose from, a classic traditional and a classic contemporary. Two styles that merge harmoniously to express the true soul of the city and create an authentic "sense of place", and intimate connection with the unique history and culture of Florence. An Important novelty on the occasion of the reopening is the inauguration of the Cibreo Ristorante and Cibreo Caffè. An exclusive collaboration with an icon of Italian food and wine which aims to further enrich and strengthen the local identity of the Helvetia & Bristol. In addition, the newly opened Salon de Tea and laboratory of Italy’s number one Master Pastry Chef Iginio Massari make this iconic hotel becoming a new reference of excellence in the historical center of Florence. Finally, among all this exciting news, there is the new and sophisticated Helvetia & Bristol “La SPA” built on the remains of an original Roman bath. This extraordinary space, the largest in Florence, combine history and present in a spectacular space exclusively dedicated to wellness and beauty.
