Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Rocco Forte Hotel Savoy is suited for families seeking contemporary design in a highly central location. Guests rave about their stays here. Guests enjoy tailored family-friendly programs, fashion-inspired Florentine interiors, and traditional Tuscan dining at Irene in Piazza della Repubblica. However, staying in this bustling pedestrian zone brings outside noise, and the private valet parking incurs high daily fees.
Guests score it 9.4 out of 10 — the average across the 15 hotels we list in Florence is 9.4.
- Positioned right on Piazza della Repubblica, the hotel sits midway between the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery, allowing guests to walk to Florence's major historical sites within minutes.
- Designed by Olga Polizzi, the rooms blend classic Italian craftsmanship with vibrant Pucci fabrics and fashion-inspired artworks that pay homage to the city's sartorial heritage.
- Given its central piazza location, lower-floor street-facing rooms can experience daytime pedestrian noise. Guests seeking absolute quiet should request rooms on higher floors or facing the courtyard.
- While valet parking is available for convenience, the daily rates are premium, which is typical for central Florence. Travelers might consider arriving by train as the city is highly walkable.
