Destination
The home of the Renaissance is an unsurprisingly romantic, cultured and stylish city. Designer Olga Polizzi recognised the latter, incorporating quirky images of designer shoes into the aesthetic of the Hotel Savoy, which overlooks the elegant Piazza della Repubblica. Florence is home to an impressive number of historically important artworks, form the works of Boticelli in the Uffizi Gallery to Michaelangelo’s iconic statue of David in the Galleria del Accademia. Take in the city’s beauty from the copula of the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or reflect on the Arno River from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. There’s a breathtaking view to be had from almost every piazza, and practically the entire city is a tribute to the minds and achievements of the Renaissance, a sense of innovation, artistic and design expertise that is captured at the Hotel Savoy.
