The atmosphere inside the hotel is ancient and evocative. The impressive Parliament Hall recalling the glorious past of ancient Florence is now the venue for our breakfast buffet. The style of the picturesque Tuscan floor recalls renaissance with its terracotta tiles and wooden ceilings, which perfectly merges with the modern style of the Lounge Bar and the lobby.

Overlooking Palazzo Vecchio and just a stone's throw from the Arno river, the Bernini Palace is one of the most exclusive lounges of the city. The hotel offers 73 rooms, most equipped with parquet, modern comforts and new bathrooms in white marble.

The Restaurant La Chiostrina is located in a XVI century courtyard. This fine-dining restaurant offers a uniquely quite and relaxing atmosphere within the bustling city center. It's the perfect choice to experience delicious gastronomic Florentine specialties for a business meeting or dinner.

The Lounge Bar is a popular venue to enjoy cocktails, local wines and taste the traditional appetizers of Florence.

Expect a great location in a luxurios historical building, attentive and courteous staff and a unique atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Preferred Hotels & Resorts Platinum Partner always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT with our AI hotel booking MCP server and ask for rates. You finish the booking instantly on a secure Rialto page, direct with the hotel. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

Do I earn I Prefer points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?

Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns I Prefer points and elite-night credit, and I Prefer elite status benefits apply.

What room types does Hotel Bernini Palace offer?

Hotel Bernini Palace lists Deluxe Room, Double Tuscan Floor Room, Courtyard View, Junior Suite Tuscan Style, First Floor, Suite, Street or Courtyard View. Sizes and bed options for each are in the rooms table above.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
