Hotel Description
Situated in a tiny, quiet square within the very heart of Renaissance Florence, the Hotel Brunelleschi is the result of an extraordinary fusion. The restoration of the priceless structures of the Byzantine Tower of Pagliazza, built in the 6th Century, and the Medieval Church of S. Michele in Palchetto, built in the 12th Century, has transformed these architectural treasures into a splendid luxury hotel. The reconstruction, although providing the hotel with the most modern comforts, has left the unique historical characteristics unchanged. Today's visitor will find a perfect marriage of ancient beauty and modern luxury. A private museum located in the Roman baths displays the archaeological finds discovered during the restoration. Beautifully decorated rooms, suites featuring jacuzzis, an elegant piano bar, and the renowned S. Elisabetta restaurant serving traditional Tuscan specialties capture the true flavour and warmth of this charming region.
Location and Transportation
Located in the area where the Renaissance actually began, the hotel is in the historical city centre, just a few steps away from the Duomo, Signoria Square and the Ponte Vecchio. Vespucci Airport is 8 km away (20 min by car).
Room Information
The hotel offers 96 beautifully decorated and traditionally furnished rooms, as well as a new executive suite. Many of the rooms enjoy individual architectural features afforded by the charming design of the Byzantine tower and medieval church.
