Every excellence weaves harmoniously together with the others, giving rise to an experience of taste, pleasure and discovery, guided by the common thread of authentic and attentive hospitality.

Our hospitality

A welcome which, from its very origins, made the Bernini Palace a privileged choice for internationally famous personalities. Overlooking the Palazzo Vecchio, in the heart of the art and history not just of Florence but of the whole of Italy, and just a short walk from the banks of the Arno, the hotel represents one of the city's most exclusive salons.

Over the years, the Bernini Palace has welcomed numerous leading players from the international scene: politicians such as Shimon Peres and Emma Bonino; directors including Mario Monicelli, Dario Argento, Pedro Almodóvar, Takeshi Kitano, Ferzan Özpetek, Cinzia TH Torrini and Giuseppe Tornatore; actors such as Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Lucia Bosè, Irene Papas, Gigi Proietti, Ricky Tognazzi, Christian De Sica, Kim Rossi Stuart and Corinne Cléry; musicians including Claudio Baglioni, Patti Smith, Lee Ryan, Estelle and Simple Minds; writers such as José Saramago, Anthony Burgess and Carlos Fuentes; producers such as Carlo Ponti; entrepreneurs like Richard Branson; and leading players in the world of fashion – including Ermanno Scervino and Claudia Schiffer – and dance, like Joaquín Cortés.

The Bernini Palace has 73 rooms, all with the most modern comforts and carefully curated down to the smallest detail: linen sheets, exclusive Simmons mattresses, hypoallergenic bedding and soft satin duvet covers.

Each room is unique, with its own identity in terms of the colours, forms and details.

The Tuscan Floor is a reinterpretation of the most authentic Tuscan style in an original and evocative key.

An entire floor furnished according to a distinctive design language, balanced between Renaissance splendour and Oriental echoes, where terracotta floors, furnishings and fabrics in warm shades of red, purple, orange and gold combine with period tapestries, drapes and upholstery.

Exposed wooden beams, four-poster beds and refined decorations complete spaces with a strong character, where romanticism and originality come together in a unique atmosphere.

The rooms — Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suites and Suites — open onto the internal courtyard and evocative alleyways of mediaeval Florence.
