Overview
The Hotel Rivoli, in the heart of Florence, is close to the church of Santa Maria Novella and only a 10 minute stroll from the Duomo.
The weathered façade gives a clue to the age of this 15th century hotel, once a home to Franciscan monks and then run as a convent school. Hotel Rivoli is brimming with character, and its architectural features include original wooden ceilings, beautiful archways and a 13th century fountain.
It is generally spacious, cool and decorated to a high standard, combing both modern and classical styles with an unfussy elegance. Uniquely for a city hotel, the pretty inner courtyard leads to a hot whirlpool bath surrounded by stone arches, pillars and sculptures.
A centrally located hotel with delightful accommodation, Hotel Rivoli is ideal for a short break in Florence in which to explore many of the nearby Renaissance treasures.
