Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of IL Tornabuoni Hotel in Florence. The 62-room Renaissance-inspired former palace marks the debut of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Italy and is the first Hyatt hotel to open in Florence.
Located along Via de Tornabuoni, guests can explore Florence’s cultural heritage, taking a short stroll to Palazzo Strozzi, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the Uffizi Gallery. Guests can also step back in time with a climb up Giotto’s Campanile, a marbled Gothic tower that delivers views across the city, or find the historic Ponte Vecchio, the famous Medieval bridge hosting authentic Italian jewelry shops.
The design and names of all the 62 guestrooms reflect the history of the Renaissance era that Florence is known. Complete with bold gem-tone colors and luxurious furnishings, each room reflects the rich history and artistic magnificence of the period.
The hotel has five restaurants. From breakfast, to an aperitif, to dinner, Il Magnifico Ristorante is open to both hotel guests and locals alike, connecting guests with the surrounding community throughout the day. The neighboring Il Magnifico Cafè is a notable spot to enjoy an evening aperitivo with small bites complemented by expertly prepared cocktails and a complete Champagne and wine list. Deep within the heart of IL Tornabuoni, La Cave has a selection of Italian, French, and other international wines. The Lucie Restaurant provides guests with a rooftop view of the city whilst the Butterfly Terrace serves signature cocktails providing a gateway to the rich history and charm of the Renaissance capital.
The fitness center is bright and spacious and offers personal training sessions. For those looking for less conventional fitness experiences, guests can take advantage of yoga on the rooftop terrace and the private golf courses in the surrounding countryside.
This historical property—formerly the Palazzo Minerbetti—has undergone significant restoration since its early days as an urban palace hosting well known figures like the Grand Duke of Tuscany, better known as Cosimo de Medici lll. His patronage of science, architecture, literature and arts contributed to the cultural heritage of Florence and is reflected throughout the hotel via updates to guestrooms and suites, public spaces, the terrace and more.
The other Hyatt-branded hotels in Italy include Park Hyatt Milan, Hyatt Centric Milan Centrale, Hyatt Centric Murano Venice, and the most recent, The Tribune Hotel. IL Tornabuoni Hotel will be managed the AG Group.
