Open All Year... Noble and proud, the heart of Florence provides the setting for this splendid, regal establishment, which will welcome you with all the mystique of a history stretching back over a hundred years.

Hotel Overview

A sumptuous urban Palace, the hotel was founded more than a century ago by a Swiss family and its name also commemorates its popularity with aristocratic British connoisseurs and art collectors on tour.



History

The Helvetia & Bristol Hotel has existed since the late 19th century, in the very same building in which it resides in today. The entrance can be found in Via dei Pescioni, however the main façade overlooks Piazza Strozzi.From the very beginning, the Helvetia & Bristol has been an important meeting point for the cultural and historical figureheads of their time. Amongst others, we recall Enrico Fermi, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Luigi Pirandello, Eugenio Montale and Eleonora Duse who adopted the Hotel as their Florentine residence. Throughout the years, the Helvetia & Bristol has remained the undisguised favourite Hotel of the most prestigious international clientele, including the Danish Royal Family, Igor Strawinsky, Giorgio De Chirico and Betrand Russel. In 1990 the Helvetia & Bristol underwent a careful and detailed renovation, returning it to its original splendour and timeless charm, offering its clientele elegant surroundings and refined atmosphere combined with today’s modern technology. All these different aspects make the Helvetia & Bristol the perfect place for you to experience Florence.

Food & Beverages

The Bar and Restaurant “Hostaria Bibendum” Hostaria Bibendum bar and restaurant, which is open all day and has a charming al fresco terrace, available from April to October. The interior style is art deco opulence, with two rare 1930s chandeliers the focal point of the restaurant, whilst the atmosphere is surprisingly contemporary. A separate area of the restaurant is more informal and contemporary in ambience and this leads to the terrace on Via dei Pescioni and a typical Florentine city scene. The menu is typically Mediterranean and determined entirely by the seasons, but the talent of Executive Chef Enzo Pettè (who obtained the Michelin Star in his last restaurant – the Osteria del Vicario) transforms familiar local dishes into haute-cuisine masterpieces. This is not a menu to write about, but one to taste and enjoy. It opens its doors for lunch, afternoon tea or a candlelit dinner, a truly unique experience that is not to be missed.
