As the first luxury hotel in the heart of the city, Helvetia & Bristol has no shortage of opulent, Old World charm. And thanks to its recent expansion into the 19th-century building next door, there’s even more to love. The 64 rooms in the original hotel feature vibrant colors and rich fabrics, while the 25 rooms in the new Anoushka Hempel-designed wing are more contemporary with silks, linens, and wrought iron finishes. Another new addition? The spa, now the largest in central Florence.

  • A loving gesture of well-being at Helvetia & Bristol

    Valid for Travel Now Through 28 Feb 2026

    ROMANCE AND RELAXATION SPA NIGHTA special evening not to be missed at Helvetia & Bristol Firenze - Starhotels Collezione. Take advantage of Valentine's Day to gift a loving gesture of well-being for yourself or your loved one.

    For Valentine’s Day, LA SPA Helvetia & Bristol will be open exclusively at night and by reservation only, starting at 7:00 pm. With its vast wellness area and two pools with hydromassage stations, counter-current swimming and relaxation areas, the path also includes a sauna, salt and ice room, Kneipp path and Hammam.

    Inside the latter, guests will be able to indulge in a special treatment, exfoliating their skin with a face and body scrub designed to regenerate. To complete the evening, a white clay face mask with purifying and soothing properties, which helps regenerate the skin, leaving it fresh, soft and visibly brighter.

    This sensory journey will not only allow you to immerse yourself in an environment of luxury and tranquility, but will be enriched by a selected aperitif, to delight the palate of guests with refined finger food and toast to love with a glass of sparkling bubbles.

    To make the evening even more memorable, the Cibrèo Restaurant and Cocktail Bar inside the hotel will offer an à la carte menu, celebrating the authentic flavors of the Italian culinary tradition. Its philosophy follows the rhythm of seasonality and takes up the ancient tradition for which fresh and quality materials become the absolute protagonists. Each flavor has been expertly conceived to offer a gastronomic proposal of the highest level, designed to satisfy even the most refined and curious palates, such as the special calamari tagliatelle with its ink, a pasta with garlic, oil and chilli pepper enriched with scampi and lemon or the more traditional meat preparations such as the special fried steak of Cibrèo or the Florentine entrecotte. The intimate and romantic atmosphere of the restaurant, enriched by suggestive details, such as the yellow Siena marble counter and the soft lighting of the hand-crafted wooden chandeliers, helps to create the perfect setting for a dinner that is not just a meal, but a gastronomic journey.

    The experience can be further enriched with an overnight stay in the hotel, enveloping guests in a comfortable and classy atmosphere. With a wide choice of 89 rooms and suites, guests can decide between two options, each with its own unique character. The Helvetia side reflects Florentine tradition, with a design that celebrates local craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Every detail, from the fine fabrics of the walls to the wooden furnishings, is designed to evoke the authenticity of the city, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere, typical of historic Florentine homes. On the Bristol side, guests can enjoy a more modern and contemporary environment, created by the famous designer Anouska Hempel. Here, minimalist architecture and the use of materials such as marble and bronze blend with a sophisticated and cosmopolitan design, for a unique living experience that combines comfort and modern style. Both styles, although distinct, offer a perfect haven, where each room is a corner of magnificent elegance, ideal for ending an evening of total relaxation and well-being.
