Set on the fifth floor, the Spa Suite looks straight across Florentine terracotta rooftops toward the Duomo.

Bar Artemisia pours cocktails beneath full-length frescoes, hosting a dedicated Negroni Club in the late afternoons.
How it began
Built in 1893 on the ancient Roman crossroads, the palazzo has long been owned by the Ferragamo family.
“the interiors have been re-imagined by Olga Polizzi, Director of Design for Rocco Forte Hotels - and Sir Rocco’s sister -, in her trademark chic yet lived-in style”
