This meticulously restored 19th-century gem boasts a vibrant blend of historical charm and modern elegance, promising an unforgettable stay in the heart of Tuscany.
A Storied Legacy Meets Modern Luxury
Originally built in 1892, the Anglo-American Hotel Florence has a rich past that includes welcoming legendary figures like Leo Tolstoy and Maria Callas. Following its acquisition in 2021 by Fund Star II, the hotel underwent an extensive renovation overseen by Italian architect Chiara Caberlon. This meticulous project aimed to preserve the hotel’s historical essence while infusing it with contemporary sophistication.
Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by an eclectic and unconventional atmosphere. Guest rooms feature a distinctive color palette, creating a lively and artistic ambiance. Intriguing details and furnishings inspired by 1920s artwork are woven throughout the hotel, adding a touch of whimsical charm.
Modern amenities seamlessly complement the historical touches. Guests can enjoy a workout in the well-equipped gym or utilize the two meeting rooms capable of accommodating up to 70 people – perfect for business travelers or small events.
A Haven for Art, Wine, and Gastronomy
Whisper Wine Bar and Courtyard: This vibrant space, once the cultural salon of the British ladies’ community “Scorpions” in the 1930s, now serves as the hotel’s central social hub. Live jazz and soul music fill the air as guests indulge in signature cocktails, an extensive selection of Tuscan wines, and delectable charcuterie and cheese platters. Don’t miss the stunning open-air courtyard, a serene oasis ideal for soaking up the Tuscan sun or enjoying a shaded retreat under one of the many parasols. This versatile space transforms into a vibrant venue, hosting art exhibitions, poetry readings, and live music performances.
Vivi Bistro: A culinary haven for both international and local palates, Vivi Bistro offers a delectable menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients.
