Winter Garden Bar
Nestled below regal arches and the iconic fresco, the Winter Garden Bar invites guests to enjoy one of the most glamorous experiences among restaurants in Florence. The perfect setting to indulge in an Italian aperitivo and well-crafted mixology, while the transition from day to evening is celebrated with the St. Regis Evening Ritual.
The Art of Sabrage
At The St. Regis, the transition from day to evening is an unforgettable experience. The lights are dimmed, the music changes, and candles are set out, creating an atmosphere rooted in tradition and elegance reminiscent of traditional Tuscan cuisine in Florence. The ceremony of sabrage, where a bottle of sparkling wine is opened with an elegant saber—a ritual dating back to the 19th century—takes center stage.
Sabering Ritual at our Winter Garden Bar, every day from 6 pm to 7 pm.
