The hotel has been converted from four adjoining buildings, the earliest of which dates from the 14th century, and the surrounding neighbourhood, which contains the largest concentration of Renaissance architecture in Europe, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

There are 60 bed rooms and suites, set around a stunning internal courtyard with multi-tiered arcades. Each room is different, and decorated with a subtle blend of the old and the new.

Les Loges restaurant, set in a charming Florentine courtyard, is the deserved recipient of a Michelin star. Facilities include a small indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a rooftop terraced garden and a bar.
