In the XVII century it was the only hotel with running water and a shelter for animals. Later, at the time when Florence was the Capital of the Kingdom of Italy, the hotel had its first moment of glory and became the Parliament buvette. The frescoed walls remind us of those times, and every morning the hotel's guests and visitors have breakfast in this "museum" which is also available for private parties, special events, gala dinners and weddings. Hotel Bernini Palace is just a short walk away from Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, and all the 74 rooms of it are equipped with the best modern facilities, with particular attention to every detail. On the ground floor, in a sixteenth-century loggia, there is La Chiostrina Restaurant.
Bernini Palace Hotel’s dining options match the elegance of its surroundings. Start your mornings with a lavish buffet breakfast served in the historic Sala Parlamento, relax with a signature cocktail or light lunch in a classic Tuscan chair in the Lounge Bar, and sample some local delicacies at La Chiostrina Restaurant, celebrated for its restored courtyard.
