Welcome to Four Seasons Hotel Firenze — an enchanted city sanctuary where an art‑filled Renaissance palazzo and a historic palazzo frame Florence’s largest private park. Relax beneath original frescoes and sculpted reliefs, sip espresso under majestic trees, lounge by the open‑air pool or unwind with Italian spa rituals. The Uffizi and Duomo are a short stroll away; Tuscan hillside towns are within easy reach.

The Four Seasons Hotel Firenze offers 116 individually designed, sun‑filled rooms and suites across two historic buildings: the 15th‑century Palazzo della Gherardesca (79 rooms) and the 16th‑century Palazzo del Nero (37 rooms) set within the private park. No two rooms are alike; many categories mirror across both palazzos and numerous connecting‑room configurations are available on request. Bathrooms feature double vanities and separate tubs and showers. Officina Profumo‑Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella amenities are used exclusively, and specialty suites include Dyson hairdryers.

Now let’s talk about The Royal Suite, which is definitely the highlight of this incredible property. Located on the noble floor of Palazzo Della Gherardesca, the Royal Suite is 233 sq m (2,518 sq ft) of unparalleled opulence, a residence that lets you live like a noble Florentine family. Vaulted ceilings, frescoes, and stuccos surround an original Capodimonte Maioliche style ceramic floor by Ignazio Chiaiese in the gallery. The suite features a grand dining room for family and friends, a gallery with large windows overlooking the park, an additional intimate living room, a rich marble bathroom (oh the bathtub) and a king bedroom with breathtaking park views. The Royal Suite can connect externally to the Renaissance and Gallery Suites to form a two‑ or three‑bedroom residence. The blend of restored art and modern conveniences makes it one of the city’s most coveted accommodations. It is overwhelmingly beautiful and, as I experienced, genuinely life changing in its gorgeousness & while you nor I may not ever stay here (I mean it’s ok to be honest this is where Kim K stays) It was an honor to be able to see this masterpiece in person.

Moving On…

For dining, Il Palagio (Michelin‑starred) occupies the ground floor of Palazzo della Gherardesca with vaulted ceilings, Murano chandeliers, and terrace seating opening to the inner gardens; breakfast is served here. Al Fresco, which is seasonal, adjacent to the pool and gardens, offers relaxed dining under a majestic tree. The Atrium Bar, beneath a skylight, serves light meals, coffee specialties, cocktails (I had one of the best Negronis I have ever had there - Vintage Negroni) and afternoon tea with live piano in the evenings. In Palazzo del Nero, Berni Bar presents a vermouth‑and‑garden‑inspired setting, while Onde delivers a coastal, show‑kitchen experience with DJ sets and a terrace framed by lemon trees. In‑room dining is available 24/7.

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is approximately 791 sq m / 8,511 sq ft, sits between the palazzos and includes ten treatment rooms; this includes a double VIP suite, relaxation lounges, an outdoor pool, and whirlpool. A tunnel connects the spa to the gym and its changing rooms, sauna, and steam room; the standalone fitness center features Technogym equipment and extended hours. Additional amenities include a hair salon, private‑dinner settings in the gardens and chapel, seasonal kids’ programming, and a shuttle service to the city center, though it is VERY walkable. The hotel is pet‑friendly and undergoing phased renovations with minimal guest disruption.

With a rare 11‑acre private park, onsite spa, original frescoes, and sculptural details, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze combines museum‑quality heritage with modern luxury in the heart of Florence.
