Our World Expands to Florence, Venice and the Côte d'Azur
We've added three of the most romantic locations to our fine roster. Our new affiliate hotels are remarkable exquisite, and we invite you to enjoy them.
Hotel Helvetia & Bristol - Florence, Italy
Situated in front of Palazzo Strozzi, in the centre of Florence, the Helvetia & Bristol is not only one of the city's finest luxury hotels, but also part of the city's history. For more than a century it has been the home away from home to many distinguished visitors to Florence, from young aristocrats on their Grand Tour, to Pirandello and Montale, Stravinsky and Gorbachev. Owner Luigi de Simone Niquesa restored the historic mansion with meticulous care and respect. Materials and furnishings evoke a world of refined elegance in the antique-filled guest rooms and the drawing rooms with their fine XVII-century paintings. On the fifth floor, the great windows of the two panoramic suites frame views of Brunelleschi's cupola at the top of the Duomo, so near that it seems one need only reach out to brush it with a fingertip. As in days past, the Giardino d'Inverno is a meeting place for local litterati and the Florentine aristocracy, where chef Marco Tremonte serves an innovative cuisine which re-interprets traditional Tuscan recipes.

Hotel Saturnia & International - Venice, Italy
Located in the heart of Venice, on Via XXII Marzo, one of the prominent and most elegant in the city, the Hotel Saturnia & International Venezia is only 250 metres from St. Mark's Square. With its perfect location, the hotel is in the most ideal place for a visit in the city's historical centre. St. Mark's Square, the Palazzo Ducale, the Bridge of Sighs, the Accademia, and Peggy Guggenheim galleries, and the Scala del Bovolo "Staircase of the Snails" are just some of the wonders of Venice that can be enjoyed during a pleasant stroll along the city's paths.
The Hotel Saturnia & International Venezia is housed in a palace built in the 14th century (one of the oldest in Venice). The Palace was owned by the Pisani Family, whose most illustrious member, Vettor Pisani (1324-1380) was appointed Admiral of the powerful Republic of Venice during the conflicts with the Genoese fleet that fought over who should control merchant trading in the Mediterranean Sea.
Established in 1908 by Ugo and Zoe Serandrei, the hotel has been managed by the same family for four generations, welcoming guests from all over the world, creating a solid tradition of hospitality. The large salon on the ground floor, characteristic of Venetian patrician palaces, captures the ambience of ancient Venice.
