More About
Hotel Bernini Palace

Hosted in a XV century building, the Bernini Palace hotel stands at the very heart of Florence, behind Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizi Gallery, just a stone’s throw from Palazzo Vecchio, the Michelangelo’s statue of David and the Porcellino market. It was the first building in Florence to be equipped with running water and a stable. The hotel boasts the presence of two Concierges, belonging to the international association Les Clefs d’Or, who are ready to fulfil all the wishes of its guests. Formerly known as Hotel Parlamento, the Bernini Palace was the home and meeting place for many MPs of the time. There, the MPs continued their discussions after they went out of the Palazzo Vecchio or the Uffizi palace, which hosted the House of Deputies and the Senate of the old Kingdom of Italy. The large hall at the first floor now known as Sala delle Colazioni (‘Breakfast Hall’) was once called Buvette del Parlamento (Parliament’s Buvette). It is open to everyone, not just to the hotel guests. Its buffet offers a wide selection of homemade, organic and natural food, as well as baked products, and there is a dedicated area with gluten-free products. The Parliament hall is also available for private parties, special events and weddings. The Bernini Palace offers 74 rooms completely renovated (19 Classic Double; 20 Superior Double; 24 Deluxe Double and Deluxe Tuscan; 8 Junior Suite and Tuscan Junior Suite; 3 Suites). They have been recently renovated and equipped with modern comforts, such as soft linen sheets, exclusive Simmons’ mattresses, anti-allergy duvets and soft, cotton satin duvet covers.
