Palazzo Vecchietti is a small, refined suite hotel set in a 16th-century Renaissance palace in the very center of Florence, just off the designer boutiques of Via de' Tornabuoni and steps from the Duomo. Its spacious, residential-style suites blend the historic building with elegant contemporary design, many with kitchenette areas, offering a discreet, apartment-like luxury. With personal service, a stylish atmosphere, and an exclusive central location, it's an intimate alternative to the larger luxury hotels — ideal for those who want space, privacy, and a sense of living in a Florentine palace.
Palazzo Vecchietti occupies a distinguished 16th-century palazzo (with origins going back further) on the Via degli Strozzi/Via de' Tornabuoni axis, the most elegant and fashionable shopping district in Florence, a couple of minutes from the Duomo and the Piazza della Repubblica. It's a small, exclusive property — a handful of suites rather than a large hotel — that emphasizes space, privacy, and personal service.
The suites are the appeal
Generously sized and designed in a refined contemporary style that complements the historic architecture, many featuring kitchenette areas and a residential, apartment-like layout that makes them comfortable for longer stays as well as short ones. The atmosphere is discreet and intimate, with attentive, personalized service (including a dedicated concierge), and thoughtful touches throughout. It feels like having your own elegant residence in the heart of the city.
The location is exclusive and supremely central: the designer flagships of Via de' Tornabuoni are at the door, the Duomo, Uffizi, and Ponte Vecchio are all a short walk, and the best of central Florence is on the doorstep. Palazzo Vecchietti suits travelers — couples, design lovers, and those wanting more space and privacy — who prefer an intimate, residential-style luxury and a chic central address over a full-service grand hotel.
