Located in the heart of the city, between Piazza della Repubblica and Via Tornabuoni – within walking distance to the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio and the most exclusive shopping areas in Florence.

Originally built in 1894 and recently restored, the Hotel Helvetia & Bristol has it all -- elegant ambiance, antique furnishings and an enviable position in the very center of Florence.  The Hotel, which exudes a refined charm, has a magical Winter Garden with its climbing ivy and fountain, antiques and spacious accommodations that offer a restful refuge like your own private residence.

52 rooms and 15 suites -- each with rich silks and brocades, authentic artworks, the latest in-room technology including WiFi, flat screen TV and satellite TV.   Some guest rooms have a Jacuzzi; some with balcony.

It is here that most of the time is spent, the fashionable bar & restaurant “Hostaria Bibendum” with its alfresco terrace. It opens its doors for lunch, afternoon tea or a candlelit dinner, a truly unique experience that is not to be missed. Amazement is guaranteed by the creations of our Chef. A dinner that is not just perfect but seductive and unforgettable: the best of Italian cuisine accompanied by the very finest of national and international wines as recommended with experience and intuition by our Restaurant Manager.

Leading the way to Carbon Neutral Stay

The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. (LHW) is delighted to make the financial commitment to STI to offset our guest's energy consumption while staying at any one of our hotels. Although this is not the best solution for addressing climate change, it is our first endeavor to help reduce unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration calculates that the average building uses 29.3 kilowatt-hours of electricity per square foot per year. Based on this number STI has computed the total amount of pounds of greenhouse gas emissions emitted per room night including the average common area spaces.

The Leading Hotels is also offering our guests the opportunity to voluntarily donate the computed amount necessary to offset their waste, water, transportation or all carbon emissions.
