The hotel is a place that instantly attunes you to the culture of the city, where you can taste the best of Tuscan cooking and sip on the finest local wines. It s a place where personal service is delivered with gracious ease. 1

3 Florentine Flair Hotel Savoy is built on the site where the Mercato Vecchio and church of San Tommaso once stood. Work on the hotel started in Once completed, it was praised for its modern and luxurious touches including central heating, an elevator and even electric lights. It has moved subtly with the times, just like Florence. But its foundations will always be embedded in Italian culture and Renaissance style. The carefully chosen ceramics, marble and mosaic, artworks and fabrics mirror the city s elegance. 2 3

4 Everything that s great about Florence is within reach. The hotel is next to the Duomo and within walking distance of the River Arno, Ponte Vecchio, Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace, as well as the finest designer boutiques of Via Roma and Via Tornabuoni. Centuries of craftsmanship continue nearby with the city s best shoe and bag-makers. 4 5

5 YOUR FLORENCE Like any good hosts, we re keen to show you around. Fancy climbing 414 steps to the top of Giotto s Campanile Tower? Finding the bull s head at the top of one of the Duomo s supporting columns? Discovering more about Florentine craftsmanship at the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, the Gucci Museum or the School of Leather? Unearthing classic treasures at the Uffizi, the Accademia or the Da Vinci Museum? Exploring an array of exhibitions at Palazzo Strozzi? Florence is alive with contemporary culture too, with a feast of modern music and cuisine, as well as the Gallery of Modern Art. With so much to do, making the most of your time in Florence means separating the ordinary from the extraordinary. That s where we come in. 7
