The Place Firenze

A luxurious Florentine pied-à-terre

Nestling in a former Florentine town house on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, The Place Florence invites you to enjoy an intimate stay in a unique and refined setting. The 20 rooms and suites come in cream and light grey tones, featuring bespoke decor punctuated with marble, wenge wood, polished steel and designer objects. At The Kitchen restaurant, which comes alive at lunchtime, the 1950s atmosphere is enhanced by animal and contemporary touches. On the floor below, stairs lead to a different world, entirely white, furnished with long sofas beneath more festive chromatic lighting. Connected to the lounge, the Bar is a comfortable parlour serving Florentine coffees or signature cocktails depending on the time of day. To enjoy breathtaking views of the facade of the Santa Maria Novella church, the hotel terrace is the perfect spot, ideally situated on the square of the same name. There you can enjoy an Italian-style aperitif or a candlelit dinner, featuring an organic menu that highlights Tuscan specialities.

THE EXTRAORDINARY

Stay in a unique place, a Florentine townhouse ideally located in the heart of Florence where hospitality is synonymous with intimate luxury and delicacy. The interior decoration with its British accents, which are discreetly masculine, is the work of Italian designer Michele Bönan, who has managed to bring a touch of sophistication to the hotel's classic luxury. It reveals a harmonious stylistic blend bringing together a Charles X fireplace, 1970s objects, a neoclassical bookcase, 1950s lamps and even animal-print armchairs. A successful marriage of quirky British spirit and meticulous Florentine style.

ETHICS

The Place Florence, with its limited number of rooms, has managed to maintain a «house-like» feel despite its city-centre location, offering its guests an authentic stay far removed from mass tourism. The hotel carefully selects its partners and favours local suppliers for food and drink, decoration and furnishings, and in-room toiletries. The works of art that adorn the property are created by Florentine artists.
