Verdict
The St. Regis Florence

The St. Regis Florence

A grand, classically opulent riverfront five-star on Piazza Ognissanti, with Arno-view rooms and Florentine-style interiors.

The call

Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.

Independent, never pay-to-rankGraded for who you areVerified 2026-06-17How we decide

Why

  1. 01

    Old-world grandeur — Murano glass, rich fabrics and a formal, butler-service ethos — set against the river.

    Our read
  2. 02

    Sumptuous and traditional rather than understated.

The location trade-off

What you're near — and what you're not

Walkable
  • The Arno riverfront (on the piazza)
  • Santa Maria Novella (8 min)
  • Via de' Tornabuoni (8 min)
Cut off from
  • Duomo and Uffizi (10–12 min walk)
  • Slightly off the densest sightseeing core
Rooms & rate

What you're paying for

Opulent rooms and suites with classic Florentine and Medici-inspired decor; the premium categories face the Arno. A river-view room is the one to request — the difference in experience justifies the upgrade for many guests.
