The Kraft
family started their business in hotel management in Bern, Switzerland,
in 1854, where Jean Kraft built and inaugurated the BERNERHOF HOTEL.
Before that, Jean Kraft had been the Manager of the famous GASTHOF
KRONE, in Bern, since 1851. There he had the opportunity to build his
experience as a hotel manager.
In 1958 the Kraft
family - who had moved to Florence - purchased the Hotel Byron in Via
Solferino in Firenze and renamed it Hotel Kraft. The Hotel Kraft is
still run by his daughter, Monique, who continues the family's
tradition with an entrepreneurial approach combined with the respect
of the rules of the best Swiss hospitality, well-known all over the
world.

THE
ROOF-GARDEN
When you arrive at the Kraft Hotel, look up at the sky:
you will realise at a glance that the roof garden is a really unique one, with trees that are surprisingly tall for this type of
environment. The Kraft roof garden was designed at the same time as the building, more than fifty years ago, and its trees are in very good
shape! Italian cypresses and pines can become very big when they grow naturally, and here they are pampered with the utmost care in large and strong containers, treated to resist the roots
expansion.
