A grand 19th-century palazzo hotel on the Arno at Piazza Ognissanti, offering signature St. Regis butler service, river-view suites, and one of Florence's most storied addresses.
The St. Regis Florence occupies a 19th-century palazzo directly on the Arno at Piazza Ognissanti, on the site of a building with a history stretching back through the Medici era. The hotel has hosted travelers and dignitaries for well over a century and today operates as a flagship St. Regis property, complete with the brand's signature butler service available to every guest.
Interiors combine restored frescoed ceilings, Murano glass chandeliers, and antique Florentine furnishings with contemporary comforts. Many rooms and suites overlook the Arno and the Ponte Vecchio in the distance; the Royal Suite occupies a full corner of the palazzo with sweeping river views. The hotel's Winter Garden lounge, beneath a domed glass ceiling, is a well-known setting for afternoon tea and the hotel's evening cocktail service.
The property is a short walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and the Ognissanti church, with the historic center, Ponte Vecchio, and Uffizi Gallery all reachable within 15-20 minutes on foot. The hotel's spa, fitness center, and in-house dining make it a self-contained base for guests who want full-service luxury alongside proximity to Florence's major sights.
