Hotel Lungarno - Lungarno Collection

The Helvetia & Bristol is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting places to stay in Florence: it is located in the heart of the historical centre of the city – which has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site – just a short walk from Palazzo Strozzi and the Duomo. The hotel is also close to Via de’ Tornabuoni, the most famous shopping street in Florence. As such, Hotel Helvetia & Bristol is the ideal starting point for visiting the city on foot, discovering its artistic and architectural treasures and immersing yourself in its society events and nightlife. Thanks to the legendary Florentine panorama, which provides the ever-stunning backdrop, with the timeless beauty of Brunelleschi's dome in the distance, Helvetia & Bristol is the perfect embodiment of the city that is known as the cradle of the Renaissance. In this historic environment, you can experience first-hand the luxury of a warm welcome, the cordial, familiar atmosphere of a private residence, and the exclusivity of spaces rich in art and history. Just a short stroll from Florence's famed Duomo (Cathedral), you will find an array of rooms and suites, each one different but all laden with evocative works of art, precious fabrics and fine furniture. The same elegant, opulent atmosphere fills the public areas, our Bristol Winter Garden Restaurant and our Bristol Lounge & Bar. All around, the streets and squares epitomise Italy's ability to renew itself through art and culture, with this city serving as the epicentre of its re-birth.
