Introduction to The Grand, Florence
Introduction
Truly the “Grand Dame of Florence”, The Grand, named in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2002 Gold List
represents Renaissance Italy at its very best. Just a 15 minute stroll to the Ponte Vecchio and
a stone’s throw from the banks of the Arno, the rich opulence of this hotel will certainly make a
lasting impression.
The 107 spacious guest rooms and suites pay tribute to Florence’s glorious past with
spectacular frescoes, marble inlays and other decorative touches. Each one is designed in one
of two distinct styles; Imperial, with its classical, handsome lines, or Florentine; rich, lavish and
sensual. Those seeking the ultimate in luxury and space should choose one of the lavish suites.
Delicious Tuscan influenced cuisine created by chef Fabrizio Innocenti in a distinctive open
kitchen is served at the superb Restaurant InCanto. Guests may dine on the outside terrace in
one of the most beautiful squares in Florence, set on the famous Arno River, overlooking the
Ponte Vecchio, the Belvedere, and the Chiesa del Cestello.
