A 16th-century palace turned stylish boutique hotel in the Centro Storico- Florence. Walk in the footsteps of Florentine aristocracy at Palazzo Vecchietti- a renaissance palace just a short stroll from many of the top sights in the city. Wealthy traders- the Vecchietti family became patrons of the arts- helping to fuel the renaissance and its explosion of artistic and scientific genius. Today- their private quarters have been transformed into spacious- modern rooms and suites- where original features stand alongside contemporary comforts. Start the day with breakfast on your roof terrace - or join fellow guests in one of the cavernous communal spaces set around the central atrium. Then step out to explore the city- with a tip or two from the concierge team to guide you towards the best experiences. Within a 5-minute walk- you could be discovering the Duomo- uncovering masterpieces in the Uffizi- or browsing the designer boutiques of via dei Tornabuoni. Palazzo Vecchietti is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
