In the heart of the historical city centre, overlooking the banks of the Arno river, St. Regis Florence is just a short walk from all the masterpieces and not-to-be-missed sights the city has to offer for a memorable and stylish experience.

St. Regis Florence presents itself as the most prestigious hotel in Florence, if not Europe. On the exterior, it is a masterpiece of Renaissance Florentine architecture; inside it is a true icon of the art of living, as witnessed by many prestigious guests who chose to stay here.

The St. Regis Florence

Eighty guest rooms and 19 suites of unmistakable style were brought back to their original splendour by the extraordinary refurbishment works completed in 2011. Italian marble, crystal chandeliers and original frescoes provide a sensation of luxury and sophistication. Our Suites further embellish the style of a hotel which has always made history.

The St. Regis's meeting and banquet rooms provide an exceptional setting for social and business events. The impressive Salone Delle Feste represents the perfect backdrop for a unique wedding celebration. The Salone Delle Feste is the most prestigious location in Florence to host the year's wedding or an unforgettable event.

Swimming Pool

Unlike modern resorts, The St. Regis Florence does not feature a traditional outdoor swimming pool — its heritage as a Renaissance palace places emphasis on timeless interiors, riverside terraces, and refined salons. Instead, relaxation is centred around the Iridium Suites Spa by Clarins, where wellness rituals, private treatments, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre provide an indulgent alternative to poolside lounging.

Guests seeking a dip can arrange access to exclusive partner facilities nearby, while many prefer to immerse themselves in the beauty of Florence itself — from strolls along the Arno to evenings on the hotel’s private terraces with champagne in hand.

At The St. Regis Florence, luxury is not about the expected, but the exceptional — every moment curated, every detail steeped in Florentine charm.

Spa

Tucked within the Renaissance walls of The St. Regis Florence lies the serene Iridium Suites Spa by Clarins, a sanctuary dedicated to wellbeing and rejuvenation. Designed as an intimate retreat, the spa reflects the timeless elegance of the hotel itself — refined, discreet, and infused with Florentine charm.

Guests can indulge in signature Clarins treatments, from revitalising facials to bespoke body therapies, each crafted to restore balance and radiance. Couples often choose pre-wedding rituals or relaxing post-celebration treatments, transforming the spa into part of their wedding journey.

The spa’s private treatment suites, calming aromas, and expert therapists ensure a deeply personal experience. Alongside the tailored treatments, the wellness offering extends to a fitness centre and curated rituals that complement the hotel’s luxury lifestyle.

Here, the philosophy is simple yet profound: every moment is designed to leave you feeling renewed, glowing, and perfectly prepared for the magic of Florence.

Luxury hotel with awesome service
Luxury hotel with awesome service and a boutique feel My husband, and I stayed at the St Regis Florence for a few nights on our honeymoon. As an SPG platinum, we were upgraded to a beautiful suite overlooking the river. The service was impeccable (especially the doormen/valet who were wonderful in reminding us to move our car from the garage and allowed us to park it in front of the hotel for a couple of hours as to not be charged an extra day in the garage). The concierge was not extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations or reservations, which was disappointing, but we did our research and found a few fabulous places. The St Regis is very centrally located, and we were able to book a private walking tour with them with a well-educated and informed guide who was born in Florence. Don't miss breakfast in the Winter Garden, and make sure you go for drinks on the Westin rooftop bar/restaurant at sunset right across the street. Overall, one of my top 5 hotel stays!
