Historic Tower Accommodations

Antica Torre Tornabuoni is a 13th-century medieval tower with rooms featuring LCD TVs, minibars, and marble bathrooms. Some rooms offer views of the Arno River, Monte Morello, or Florence's rooftops. Suites include flat-screen TVs with streaming services, soundproof walls, and city views. The apartment has a hot tub, three bedrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen.

Dining with a View

The Restaurant in the Tower serves seasonal dishes like grilled octopus and steak tagliata, with views of Florence. Breakfast includes organic and locally sourced Tuscan produce. The rooftop bar offers signature cocktails like the Sunset, overlooking the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore and the Arno River.

Rooftop and Sound Lounge

Guests can access two private rooftop terraces with 360-degree views of landmarks like Palazzo Vecchio and the hills of Fiesole. The seventh floor houses the Sound Immersion Salotto, a music lounge for guests. The winter garden and summer terrace provide seasonal dining settings.

Prime Florence Location

The hotel is on Via Tornabuoni, near luxury boutiques like Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo. It's a 10-minute walk to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and 1 km from Florence Santa Maria Novella Station. Peretola Airport is 10 km away.

Guest Services

Staff assist with itinerary planning and event coordination, hosting one event per day. Temperature checks are conducted at entry. Rooms include free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and soundproofing. The hotel uses video surveillance in designated areas.

“This spot, housed in a medieval tower, stands out for its access to some of Florence's best views from its rooftop terraces. The location is superb for exploring both the luxury shopping on Via Tornabuoni and the city's major sights. While some find the service inconsistent, I think the hotel's historic charm and unique setting have appeal.”
