2	Cocktails with a View — The “La Terrazza” bar is located on the top floor of the hotel, set atop the medieval Consorti tower. Relax with a signature cocktail and take in some of the city’s best views of the Arno River, Brunelleschi’s Dome, San Miniato, Palazzo Vecchio, and Forte Belvedere.

The 1950s furnishings bring a sense of elegance and refinement, and a terrace adds the perfect touch for a private escape.

5	Historic Design — The hotel’s style was inspired by the 1950s, when Italian and Florentine artists combined light wood with leather details. Look for the superb black-and-white photographs throughout the rooms, adding to the sleek and sophisticated clean lines of the hotel.
