About the Hotel

Piazza Mentana 7, Florence, Italy, 50122

Hotel Balestri - Wtb Hotels, a four-star establishment situated in the heart of the Santa Croce district, offers a central location with dreamy river views and a touch of Thirties glamour. The property features a roof terrace with lovely city views, streamlined ground-floor public spaces with a muted black-grey-white color scheme, and a chic seating area outfitted with purple chairs.

Elegant Room Options

All guestrooms at Hotel Balestri feature comforts such as premium bedding and air conditioning, with private bathrooms supplied with in-house cosmetics from Officina di Santa Maria Novella. The fifth floor houses romantic love nests with glowing parquet floors, honey-colored velvet drapes, attic ceilings, and oval windows providing jaw-dropping views of the Duomo.

Refined Dining Experience

The breakfast room, with tall arched windows looking towards the Arno, features dark wood paneling and velvet-covered chairs reminiscent of a gentleman's club. The buffet includes freshly-prepared fruit salad, yogurts, cheeses, cold cuts, salad, boiled and scrambled eggs, and bacon, while the bar is a stylish spot for a post-sightseeing Campari spritz and light snacks.

Stylish Public Spaces

The entrance hall of Wtb Hotels showcases large windows, high ceilings, and timeless elegance with the hotel's public spaces decorated in a classic style with antique furniture. A black lacquered front desk, white leather armchairs, and purple-shaded floor lamps add to the contemporary style following a complete renovation programme lasting more than a year.

Prime Riverside Location

The Balestri Hotel is located on the north bank of the river Arno just east of the Ponte Vecchio, feeling somewhat removed from the tourist crowds while remaining only 1.5 km from Florence Santa Maria Novella station. Cultural highlights including the Galileo Museum-Institute, Museum of the History of Science, and Uffizi Gallery are nearby, with the hip Oltrarno district featuring bars, restaurants, and independent boutiques lying across the Ponte Vecchio.
