Property details

An east-of-centre Florence stay in a leafy neighbourhood, fresh from a chic refurbishment with a smart spa – includes breakfast, spa perks and more
  • Lovely location: A short walk from the ancient city centre of Florence, Hotel Grifone Firenze enjoys a leafy setting just east of the centro storico, on the northern banks of the Arno River. The hotel is fresh from an upscale refurbishment which has added an ultra-modern spa with outdoor hot tub, sauna, hammam and salt room.

  • Authentic dining: After busy days charging around the city, it’s the perfect spot for relaxing and contemplating the amazing art, sculpture and architecture that you’ve seen. Enjoy relaxing suppers at the hotel’s partner restaurant next door, which serves Tuscan classics and local wines. Served on site, breakfast is a sweet and savoury buffet spread.

  • Elegant accommodation: Rooms are cool and serene, with marble-effect walls and furniture, wood floors and views over the Florentine rooftops and beyond. Each morning take a stroll along the river or one of the parks with the locals, and decide what you’re going to do that day.

How to get there

Hotel Grifone is situated to the east of Florence’s centro storico, 200 metres from the northern bank of the Arno River. It’s a 15-minute walk from Campo Marte station, which has links to the city’s mainline Santa Maria Novella station if you’re coming from elsewhere in Italy or taking public transport from the airport. Pisa airport offers the widest selection of flights, and has a direct shuttle from the airport to the central train station, from which you can catch your train to Florence.

Tucked away close to the banks of the Arno, the hotel is in a quiet, residential area of Florence, with a great selection of bars and restaurants nearby that are mostly frequented by locals.
