Minor Hotels has announced the opening of the Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi in Florence, Italy, marking the luxury brand's latest addition to its expanding portfolio.

Situated in the city's historic centre, the 16th-century palace has been restored to offer guests a blend of Renaissance grandeur and contemporary comfort.

The Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi, once the residence of the noble Gaddi and Arrighetti families, is a monument to Florence's aristocratic past.

It houses a collection of historical and artistic treasures, including frescoed rooms and original artworks, some dating back to the 16th century.

The renovation, led by interior designers Patrizia Quartero and Guy Oliver, was carried out by specialised restorers and local artisans, ensuring the preservation of the building's Florentine architectural heritage.

The hotel offers 86 guest rooms, including eight suites with authentic period furnishings and modern amenities. The presidential suite boasts a panoramic terrace with views of Florence's skyline.

Among the various dining options is the Terrae fine dining restaurant, which provides a gastronomic journey through Tuscan and Italian cuisine, centred on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients.

Guests can also enjoy the Aria Rooftop bar, which presents one of the finest city and Duomo views, along with pre-dinner aperitifs and cocktails inspired by Florentine gardens, curated by chef Iside de Cesare.

With six ballrooms featuring frescoed ceilings, Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi serves as a venue for events and weddings, accommodating up to 200 guests. The hotel's prime location places visitors within walking distance of Florence's cultural attractions and a short drive from Amerigo Vespucci Airport.

Joining the Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Wellness Resort & Spa, Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi is the second Tivoli property in Italy. As Tivoli Hotels & Resorts celebrates its 90th anniversary, it introduces special guest experiences, such as the Tivoli Timeless Tour and The Room 90, at its new Florence location.

Room rates at Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi start from €300 for a Deluxe Room, including breakfast for two.

Minor Hotels, which boasts a diverse portfolio of eight brands, operates over 550 properties in 56 countries and recently opened the Avani Ratchada Bangkok Hotel in partnership with Thai developer CP LAND.
