In one of the most romantic cities in the world, hotel options got a whole lot plusher in Florence when the Four Seasons moved in.  Set in a historic Medici Palace, the restoration of the hotel took over 7 years to recreate just how noble life must have been in the Renaissance times.  Think frescos that belong in a museum, original tile floors and rooms that are not at all European size to set the scene for some of your own private renaissance, if you know what we mean.  Where hotels were once secondary to your Florence experience, the Four Seasons is now part of your cultura

In one of the most romantic cities in the world, hotel options got a whole lot plusher in Florence when the Four Seasons moved in.  Set in a historic Medici Palace, the restoration of the hotel took over 7 years to recreate just how noble life must have been in the Renaissance times.  Think frescos that belong in a museum, original tile floors and rooms that are not at all European size to set the scene for some of your own private renaissance, if you know what we mean.  Where hotels were once secondary to your Florence experience, the Four Seasons is now part of your cultural enrichment and an oasis with its five hectares of private park right in the middle of the city.  For those who want to (over)indulge, head to their spa for the 24-karat gold facial.  For anything goes in these new Renaissance times.
