Brunelleschi Hotel is a historical pearl inside the heart of Florence city center, located just a few steps from the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio and shopping district. The Brunelleschi has been completely refurbished, its elegant rooms are equipped with all comforts and tasteful bathroom amenities. Nestled inside the Byzantine Pagliazza Tower, heart and symbol of the Brunelleschi Hotel, 2 MICHELIN star restaurant Santa Elisabetta is the 7-table fine dining restaurant of the hotel: the ideal setting for a romantic intimate dinner or a strategic business lunch. For a more informal option, taste Tuscan delicacies at the hotel's Osteria Pagliazza restaurant, which seasonal offers outdoor seating on the quiet patio overlooking the Byzantine Tower.

We stayed at the Brunelleschi for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon across Italy. After trailing our luggage through a very hot (39°c!) city centre, we were kindly greeted with cool towels and fresh juice/water. Every member of staff here was wonderful. We were delighted to receive a room upgrade and an ice cold bottle of prosecco was waiting for us when we checked out our room. The room: lovely comfortable bed, fantastic AC, lovely big windows and view. Toiletries provided were excellent- they had thought of everything you might need. When we returned to our room later on we were greeted with rose petals on the bed and chocolates on the pillows- a nice touch. The hotel: the building itself is beautiful and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed many drinks in the bar and always received good service. The staff are very proud of their hotel and it's history. The location is fantastic, walking distance to absolutely everything and although on a noisy street, we couldn't hear a thing when the windows were closed and got a very good night's sleep. Breakfast: breakfast was excellent. There was a fantastic choice of fresh food, pastries, fruit and juices and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We left full up every morning for another day of exploring. I would definitely recommend this hotel and can't wait to return in the future. Thank you.

Great location, excellent staff and service. If you are looking to stay in the center of the action, but still want quiet, this hotel gives you both.

Absolutely charming hotel in the heart of Florence. Nice amenities and lovely staff. I have seen several comments on the AC but we encountered no issues and we were there at the height of the heat wave! Comfortable beds and terrific shower. Wonderful and very extensive breakfast buffet in lovely rooms. Would return in a heartbeat! KUDOS

We had such a great experience! The location is s A+ and the staff could not be more helpful. The included breakfast was fresh, delicious and had plenty of choices. We cannot wait to go back.

My family stayed for a few nights at the Brunelleschi Hotel. It is centrally located, has nice size rooms, a decent gym, nice bar and onsite restaurants. However, when we first checked in there was something just a bit off about the hotel. The staff are all very professional, almost too professional in a stand-offish way. The hotel is historical and therefore has some quirks such as having to take two different elevators to get to your room. Also, the decor of the hotel is almost goth like. Many of the rooms (including the bar) have dark moody color schemes. Also, the bathroom doors are glass with etching. Therefore, it is possible to see into the bathroom from the hallway of the room. That may not be a problem for some people but teenagers sharing a room were not impressed. We had just come from a very modern upscale boutique hotel in Rome so I think the sharp contrast was initially off putting. However, the hotel does have a lot to offer. The location is wonderful, the rooms are a good size. Just my opinion but a decor update would do wonders for the hotel.
