Ruby Bea Hotel & Bar

Ruby Bea GH12655 small

Find fresh perspective in Florence

Set in a porticoed building overlooking a grand, tree-lined square, Ruby Bea draws inspiration from the artists, thinkers and writers of the Italian Renaissance. In fact, Bea takes her name from Dante Alighieri's inamorata, Beatrice. 


In the friendly bar, our expert mixologists serve up signature cocktails, surrounded by eye-teasing art. Start your evening with a sundowner on our pretty roof terrace, catch a local band or drop in for a mingle any time. 


And when you're ready to unwind, each room at Ruby Bea is a haven of Lean Luxury calm, designed with serious sleep in mind. 


You'll find us on the edge of the historic city centre. Florence's galleries, museums and incredible architecture are within walking distance. Grab a coffee, take a stroll and admire the view along the way.

It's all about perspective

Taking our lead from the great artists of the Renaissance, Ruby Bea's a love letter to the blending of classical forms and novel perspectives. In the bar, rich dark hues and warm ochres meet bold, geometric shapes, while marble and mirrors play with light and shade. Bringing a twist to the linear perspective developed by 15th-century Florentine artists, the walls are adorned with eye-catching, mind-bending works inspired by MC Escher and Alessandro Michele.
