Four Seasons Hotel Firenze

With at least two amenities that are very rare in Florence – an 11-acre private park and an on-site spa – Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is taking luxury living to new heights in this Renaissance capital. Original frescoes and reliefs grace the walls, while outside, a centuries-old private park invites quiet exploration. The Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo are a short stroll away. Your room is in either the 16th-century La Villa, formerly a convent, or the 15th-century Palazzo della Gherardesca, once a palace; no two of the 116 bright guest rooms are alike. As for the spa, it boasts an outdoor pool, a whirlpool, and myriad treatments.
