PB hotel design editorial

Piazza della Repubblica was carved from Florence's medieval heart in the late nineteenth century, its neoclassical facades replacing the old Roman forum and Jewish ghetto in a wave of post-Unification civic ambition. The Hotel Savoy has anchored one corner of that piazza since 1896, its stone frontage — visible in the images with its rusticated base, arched entrance, and symmetrical window rhythm — carrying the confident grandeur of the era. Rocco Forte acquired the property and commissioned his sister Olga Polizzi to oversee a comprehensive redesign, completed in 2000 and refreshed in subsequent years, that brought the 80-room hotel into a register somewhere between grand Florentine palazzo and the kind of carefully assembled private apartment you might find in the city's better streets. Polizzi's interiors draw on artisan Tuscan craft rather than period reproduction — herringbone oak parquet floors run through the guestrooms, where the palette shifts by category: one room wraps in grey blossom-print wallpaper with ochre silk curtains and a striped bench at the foot of the bed, another layers ikat-patterned upholstery and indigo headboard fabric against sage-green striped walls. The Irene restaurant, named after Rocco Forte's mother, deploys clusters of cylindrical pendant lights above green leather chairs and mosaic-fabric banquettes, a large photographic work of a Florentine cloister anchoring the room. Outside on the piazza, the terrace tables are laid with printed tops mapping the city — a quietly affectionate gesture toward the square's complicated, layered history.

"Just got back from 4 days in Firenze and loved this hotel. First Class, and it felt like a grand hotel in the middle of the city. Great location (in a very touristy area the windows were sound proof and can easily walk to everything). Beautiful room- we had junior deluxe suite which was gorgeous. Comfortable bed, great bathroom / coset. Complete with a "Pillow Menu", welcome wine, chocolates and fruit. The staff was BEYOND helpful, friendly and knowledgable. Doorman Eugene and Franco were wonderful and always knew our name when we returned for the day. Front Desk + Concierge had great recommendations, and the hostess for breakfast was truly delightful! Can't wait to go back!"

"We stayed for two nights at this wonderful hotel in the heart of Florence, and it truly felt like a fairytale. From the moment we checked in, we were warmly welcomed and thoroughly pampered throughout our stay. Our room, overlooking the beautiful square in front of the hotel, was simply perfect. We were delighted to find thoughtful little gifts for our daughters, which made them incredibly happy and added such a special touch to our experience. Every member of the staff always had a smile on their face and was ready to assist us with anything we needed, especially when it came to organizing our stay and helping us make the most of our time in the city. Their restaurant, Irene, is a delightful refuge from the overly crowded and touristy eateries in Florence’s center. The cuisine is exquisite, the atmosphere refined, and the staff attentive, caring, and highly professional. We highly recommend it, you can’t miss it if you’re planning a visit to Florence. We will definitely be coming back!"

"Room has great view of the main square. It was airy and comfortable and roomy. Getting to the hotel from the airport was easy and took us 25 minutes by taxi. Florence is a fantastic bustling renaissance city full of art and architecture which I love. The team at the Savoy were very welcoming and you feel at home as soon as you step into the hotel. The concierge was so very friendly and helpful finding us restaurants for dinner and lunch. The ravioli at the restaurant is one of the best I have tasted - delicate and delicious. The terrace bar serves great cocktails and is a wonderful place to relax with a drink or have lunch. Thoroughly recommend the Savoy for a trip to Florence. Great location for sightseeing and a wonderfully comfortable and luxurious hotel."
