Hotel Helvetia and Bristol sits right in front of Palazzo Strozzi, a masterpiece of Florentine Renaissance architecture, and just around the corner is the magnificent Duomo with in front of it Giotto's Campanile, from the top of which visitors can enjoy a truly glorious views over the ancient city. The décor and furniture have been beautifully chosen and the ambiences reflect Florentine aristocracy in its most elegant period. The rooms boast antiques, the halls proudly display their 17th century paintings and the panoramic suites give onto the timeless beauty of the cupola of the Florence Cathedral. To complete this alluring picture there is a delightful winter garden with a Liberty-style glass ceiling.
