About the Hotel

Set in the center of Florence, the fantastic Hotel Helvetia & Bristol is an essential component of the city's magnificent architectural history. This restored building retains a period feel in rooms awash in lush silks, figured-tile flooring and 17th-century Florentine paintings. Visit the Hostaria Bibendum restaurant, where Chef Roberto Cordisco deliciously interprets Tuscan cuisine, while the sweeping windows of the fifth floor suite make guests feel as if the Duomo is right in their own back yard.

Reviews for Hotel Helvetia & Bristol

A pleasant stay in Florence

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

The hotel has an exquisite typical Florentine taste. The reception’s staff has been very useful and helped us in getting around the city and discovering all the hidden gems and if you feel tired at night you can eat at the restaurant. Also suggested to try to the SPA.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Florence

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Where to start with our amazing stay at this beautiful hotel? I guess at the beginning! The hotel staff gave us a very warm and friendly welcome when we checked in. We were escorted to our room which was gorgeous. It was small but that’s to be expected for the most part in Europe. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom although small, felt luxurious. The buffet breakfast was delicious. The staff was always attentive and helpful. The hotel is centrally located which makes it easy to walk to shopping, restaurants, and museums.

A Magical Stay at the Helvetia & Bristol Firenze

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Where do I even begin? First and foremost, we want to extend our gratitude to the exceptional reception and door staff. Despite a booking mishap on our part, they went above and beyond to resolve the issue quickly and efficiently, making us feel truly valued . The hotel itself is simply stunning. The rooms exude luxury and comfort, offering an impeccable stay. Housekeeping is outstanding, ensuring everything is spotless and restocked while seamlessly working around your schedule. The spa is an absolute highlight, with beautiful facilities that leave you feeling rejuvenated and glowing - with salt room and ice chamber were particular favourites. Dining at the restaurant is an experience in itself. The waitstaff and sommelier are attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, creating a memorable atmosphere. Breakfast is an indulgence not to be missed, with an impressive selection of pastries and hot dishes. Once again, the service was flawless—true 5-star treatment. The place is magical. Thank you, Hotel Helvetia & Bristol for hosting us in your exceptional establishment. We can’t wait to return.
