Centrally located between the Piazza della Repubblica and Ponte Vecchio, the palatial 19th century Hotel Pierre blends with the Gothic style architecture of its typically Florentine surroundings.

The nearest airport is Florence Vespucci eight kilometres away, around 20 minutes by car.

A large revolving door delivers guests into a marble floored lobby, where pastel toned walls meet high wood panelled ceilings dominated by a row of chandeliers. Clientele composed predominately of couples and small families browse their guidebooks amongst Italian rococo furnishings, ornate gilded mirrors, and framed French prints.

Guests of the Hotel Pierre can start the morning with a hot and cold buffet breakfast in the surrounds of the dining area, with stained glass skylight and serviced tables. In the evenings, residents retire to the American Bar, sink into armchairs, and enjoy a selection of drinks and snacks.

The Hotel Pierre features 44 guestrooms spread over its five floors, all accessible from the lobby via two lifts. Rooms are characterised by a mixture of elegant Venetian and Florentine antique style furnishings, hardwood parquet flooring and soft pastel tones. Views are either over the street, inner courtyard, or the city's distinctive tile roof skyline. All rooms provide work desks with high speed Internet ports (surcharge), while 21" televisions provide satellite channels. Marble tiled bathrooms include showers or shower/tubs, together with wall mounted hair dryers and complimentary toiletry sets.

Every Thursday, a Flower and Plant Market is held just around the corner from the hotel on Via Pellicceria, when the shady arches leading from the Piazza della Republic blossom into a riot of colours and scents.
