Grand Hotel Villa Medici

Grand Hotel Villa Medici is located in a historical residence right in the centre of Florence, walking distance from all the major art sites and shopping locations. It is just a short distance from the river Arno and the most attractive boutiques. The hotel is an 18th century historic palazzo, once a monastery dedicated to Santa Anna sul Prato, on the west side of the city's historical centre.

The building was extensively and sensitively refurbished to turn it into a 5* hotel deluxe, and the hotel still retains the elegance and tradition of its origins, in a successful combination with modern technology and efficiency. For example, a perfect balance can be seen in the sumptuous halls of the palazzo and the new “Jockey Bar” in contemporary style. The bar has become an exclusive meeting point in the heart of the city.

The superb and attractively furnished interiors look onto a luxurious garden with pool, and in fact Villa Medici is the only hotel in the city centre to have these prestige facilities. The bar and restaurant services are on a par with the expectations of a sophisticated international clientele. The meeting centre offers a venue ideal for all conference requirements, with two large halls overlooking the city of Florence. The Royal Hall on the first floor has the style and discretion necessary for high-level business meetings.
The SINA Fitness Club, with sauna, Turkish bath and technogym equipment, is open at all hours to hotel customers. Other sports facilities are available nearby, such as riding, tennis and golf.

Guest Rooms & Suites
Each accommodation has a wealth of original antique furnishings and tapestries. The panoramic windows framing the Florentine cityscape and the characteristic Tuscan landscape add a special touch to the 100 rooms and suites. The Royal Suite, and the Penthouse Suite with private pool on the terrace, are also favourites for their exclusive and sophisticated ambiance.

The "Lorenzo de' Medici" and "Conservatory" Restaurants
The "Lorenzo de' Medici" restaurant specializes in original interpretations of Tuscan cuisine, and it offers a dining experience of unfailing excellence that will leave vivid memories of the guest's stay in Florence. The "Conservatory" restaurant has modern interiors and a long veranda leading out into the garden and pool. Clients of both restaurants can enjoy the warm summer nights outdoors, accompanied by the sounds of live music and tasting the exquisite wines on the menu.

The Jockey Bar
The Jockey Bar has fine views onto the verdant garden with its swimming pool. The architect successfully balanced the bar's modern styling with the hotel's old and traditional architecture. A cosy fireplace corner is ideal for a romantic conversation or for reading one of the valuable books on the shelves. During the warmer months, guests can enjoy aperitifs, appetizers, dinner and after-dinner drinks in the mellow atmosphere created by the sounds of a pianist.
