Four Seasons Hotel Firenze Named No.12 On The 50 Best Hotels 2026 List

Four Seasons Hotel Firenze has once again been included in The 50 Best Hotels ranking, earning the No.12 position on the 2026 list, unveiled during last night’s awards ceremony in Paris. Marking its fourth consecutive appearance, the recognition reflects the hotel’s ongoing commitment to thoughtful service and meaningful guest experiences.

From a noble Renaissance residence to one of Florence’s most celebrated hospitality destinations, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze embodies centuries of history at the heart of the city. Home to the historic Palazzo della Gherardesca and Palazzo del Nero, and surrounded by one of Florence’s largest private gardens, the property offers an immersive connection to the art, culture and enduring legacy that have shaped Florence for generations.

“This recognition is a wonderful acknowledgment of the people who bring our historic home to life every day,” says Massimiliano Musto, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Firenze. “For centuries, these palaces and gardens have been part of Florence’s story. Today, our team has the privilege of sharing that legacy with guests, creating experiences that connect them to the city’s culture, artistry and traditions in meaningful ways. Being recognized among the 50 Best Hotels for a fourth consecutive year is a tribute to their dedication and to the extraordinary heritage that surrounds us.”

Commenting on this year’s ranking, Faye Huggett, Director of Community for The 50 Best Hotels, says: “Bringing The 50 Best Hotels to Paris for the first time has been a privilege, and a fitting backdrop to celebrate the hotels shaping the future of travel. This year’s list recognises not only extraordinary places to stay, but the exceptional people whose vision, craft and care create truly memorable guest experiences. Congratulations to every hotel honoured in 2026, thank you to our Academy whose votes shape the list and everyone who continues to make this a moment the industry look forward to each year.”
