Bernini Palace
15th-century sumptuous palace.
The five-star Hotel Bernini Palace, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, is housed in a 15th-century palazzo in the centre of Florence, behind Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery. Looking over Palazzo Vecchio, a stone’s throw from the River Arno, at the very core of the art and history not only of the city but also of Italy itself, the Hotel Bernini Palace is one of the most exclusive places to stay in Florence today.
A journey into history.
The atmosphere inside the hotel is pervaded by the glorious Florence of old. Here the history of the city, which guests can breathe in the magnificent Sala del Parlamento and on the evocative Tuscan Floor, merges with the contemporary mood of the Lounge Bar and the hall.
Relax & rediscover yourself.
The Hotel Bernini Palace has 74 rooms all equipped with the best and most modern amenities with special attention to details. Every room is entirely different from the next, in both colour and shape.
Unique Tuscan atmosphere.
A reinterpretation of old-fashioned Tuscan style. An eccentric, unusual dimension that conjures up different times and places. The whole first floor is decorated with a combination of Renaissance touches and echoes of the East, in which terracotta floors, furniture and fabrics in warm shades of red create hugely romantic, original ambiences. The rooms – Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suite and Suite – look out onto the hotel’s courtyards and the lanes and alleyways of medieval Florence.
Florence with gusto.
On the ground floor of the hotel inside a historic 16th-century Portico by the hall is situated the restaurant La Chiostrina. The combination of the light that comes in from the inside courtyard, its colours and its atmosphere makes it one of the city centre’s unique eateries. An excellent venue for dinner, business meetings, and light lunches, and with its ever-changing seasonal menu, ideal for sampling typical Tuscan and other specialities.
Ambience of great charm.
The perfect setting for a drink with friends or a romantic rendezvous, the Lounge Bar emanates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that evokes the luxury of a private lounge in an ambience of great charm where the refined furnishings blend in harmoniously with the contemporary design. The barman, a professional sommelier, offers an impressive range of cocktails and long drinks.
Panoramic terrace.
Wrapped in the history of the city, the Bernini roof terrace offers a panoramic view over the Palazzo Vecchio and beyond. With its gazebo, solarium and bar service, it’s the perfect place for a date, a cocktail or an aperitif.
