Bernini Palace Hotel, Florence

Hotel Introduction
The Hotel Bernini Palace features an intoxicating blend of glamour and history, turning what was once a 15th-century palazzo into a modern-day sanctuary for discriminating tourists. The sumptuous ambience can be felt immediately upon entering the impressive lobby. Spilling from halls, corridors, and other public spaces are stunning period pieces—from chests of drawers to antique clocks to beautiful paintings.

The luxurious atmosphere is carried through to the 74 guest rooms, where the decorative style of each floor creates a distinctive mood for visitors. The first floor is home to Tuscan-style décor, complete with terracotta floors, canopy beds, rich tapestries, and antique furnishings. Other rooms provide chic, modern comfort and offer views of the Duomo, interior courtyards, or quaint streets.

The Hotel Bernini Palace offers just the right mix of style and substance, anticipating its guests’ every need. Here you’ll find such essentials as a private garage for rental cars, fax and Internet services for business travellers, and satellite TV that allows visitors to catch up on world events.

Dining
Enjoy a full, deluxe breakfast in the appropriately named Sala Parlamento. In a prior incarnation, this space served as a gathering room for members of Parliament and senators of the Kingdom of Italy, whose capital was Florence from 1865 to 1870.

The Brunello Lounge Bar and Restaurant is the solution to all of your food and drink needs throughout the rest of the day. The menu, featuring local and international dishes, changes each month and constantly offers new and exciting culinary surprises. In the afternoon, take advantage of the tea and cake service, or settle in with a cocktail and Spanish-inspired tapas and Asian snacks.

Hotel Features
The intricately planned décor is a testament to interior designer Gil Dez’s knowledge of Florence’s legendary past. Capturing the always-romantic style of Tuscany through the red-tiled floors and Murano glass lamps on the Tuscan Floor, other elements of the hotel’s design were inspired by Morocco, whose spice merchants settled in the area during the Renaissance. The two gorgeous motifs blend seamlessly to create a feast for the eyes in every corner.

String-course cornices along the walls and wooden shutters are a poignant reminder of the Hotel Bernini Palace’s 15th century roots, a remarkable accomplishment considering its superbly modern amenities.

Meetings and Events
Guests can take advantage of the Sala Corsini, a newly refurbished meeting and conference room that offers lots of natural light and seating for up to 40 people. Events can be organized in the beautiful atmosphere of the Sala Parlamento as well. Business can also be conducted via the high-speed Internet access located in every guest room, as well as the lobby and lounge.

Location
The Bernini Palace Hotel sits behind the Piazza della Signoria. It is in the heart of Florence's historic area and is steps away from the main monuments and attractions.
