Iridium Spa at The St. Regis Florence

Iridium Spa sits on Piazza Ognissanti. It is a ten-minute walk from the boutiques of Via Tornabuoni and fifteen minutes from the Uffizi Gallery.

The spa is a better choice than the hotel-heavy options near the Duomo, where the density of tourists makes quiet impossible. By choosing this corner of the city, you trade the central crush for the lower-key pace of the Arno riverfront. While the nearby streets see constant movement toward the Ponte Vecchio, the room remains tucked away from the main thoroughfare. It is for those who want to reach the city’s major galleries on foot without sacrificing a sense of privacy.
