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. A new restaurant. A refreshed lobby. 14 renovated suites. Hotel Savoy celebrates contemporary Italian design, yet its foundations are firmly embedded in classic Florentine culture. The carefully chosen ceramics, marble and mosaic, artworks and fabrics mirror the city s elegance. 2 3
