Presidential Suite Bristol | Helvetia & Bristol, Florence

The extraordinary touch of Anouska Hempel is particularly evident in the design of the Presidential Suite.

This suite, measuring over 100 square metres, is composed of two communicating rooms, and features a large, striking sitting room with exquisite velvet sofas, marble finishes and a large fireplace. The magnificent four-poster beds have been fashioned in antique-finish mirror panelling or wrought iron by skilled Italian craftsmen, and the fabrics and curtains in fine Italian silk shantung frame the appealing setting. The beauty of the rooms is enhanced by the bronze lamps hand-crafted by Bronzetto, the scagliola occasional tables by Bianco Bianchi, the antique-finish mirrors and the brass decorations on the furniture. The Presidential Suite is equipped with three bathrooms, tiled in white Carrara marble. Especially impressive is the master bathroom, featuring twin washbasins, a central Devon&Devon bathtub opposite the fireplace, a Turkish bath and a shower.
