Four Seasons Hotel Firenze has been named #19 in the global ranking of The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024. Following a successful debut in 2023, the second edition of The World’s 50 Best Hotels has been announced at a captivating awards ceremony in London, and includes industry-defining hotels from across six continents worldwide.

This awards ceremony once again brought together the global travel and hospitality community to celebrate the world's best hotels. Held at the historic Guildhall, the event showcased exceptional hotel experiences that will inspire consumers, travellers, and hoteliers around the globe.

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze has been voted thanks to its unique features: its two Renaissance buildings, Palazzo Della Gherardesca and the recently renovated Palazzo Del Nero, a timeless atmosphere and passionate service. A serene oasis in the heart of Florence, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze embraces one of the largest private gardens of the city, the Gherardesca Garden, a secluded gem where guests can enjoy unparalleled dining experiences and reconnect with nature.
