Hotel Regency Florence
Old-money Florentine. Aristocratic villa atmosphere with Renaissance art and original features. The kind of place that feels like staying in a private home — one that happens to have staff who anticipate your every move.
The restaurant is open to non-guests for lunch (Bistrot menu) Tuesday–Saturday and dinner Tuesday–Saturday for fine dining — worth booking regardless of where you stay
Why It Matters
One of Florence's most enduring small luxury addresses — a long-standing SLH member that once hosted ministers of state when Florence was Italy's capital. Thirty-one individually decorated rooms, a respected fine-dining restaurant (Relais Le Jardin), and obsessively praised service set it apart from the city's larger, more anonymous luxury hotels.
Hotel Regency is a 19th-century Florentine villa turned 31-room five-star boutique hotel, sitting on the quiet, tree-lined Piazza Massimo D'Azeglio. It's a 10-minute walk to the Duomo and the Accademia, but feels worlds away from the tourist crush. Think antique mirrors, deep-hued rooms, period lighting, and a private urban garden where breakfast is genuinely worth skipping the city for.
