Italy: Hotel Savoy, Florence
The Grande Dame of Piazza della Repubblica
Facing directly onto Piazza della Repubblica since 1893, Hotel Savoy has long been considered the grande dame of Florentine hotels, and a recent refresh by design director Olga Polizzi has only sharpened that reputation. The 80 rooms and suites lean into more space and better views than before, many looking directly onto the square, Brunelleschi's dome, or Giotto's Bell Tower, putting Florence's skyline on near constant display.
Downstairs, Irene restaurant serves Tuscan classics with a modern edge from chef Fulvio Pierangelini, using seasonal, regional ingredients, with outdoor seating on the terrace when weather allows. Up top, the rooftop terrace brings a seasonal heated pool and a bar touched by designer Laudomia Pucci's playful, colorful sensibility, a lighter counterpoint to the hotel's more formal ground floor.
