Brunelleschi Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Florence
About the Hotel
Historic Tower Accommodations
Brunelleschi Hotel is housed within the Byzantine Torre della Pagliazza, built between 541-544 AD. Rooms include air conditioning, iPod docking stations, and laptop-sized safes. Some rooms offer views of the Duomo, Giotto's Tower, or Via dei Calzaiuoli. Suites feature round beds, Jacuzzis, and private terraces. The Pagliazza Tower Suite retains original stone walls and spans two floors with a living room and whirlpool tub.
Michelin-Starred Dining
The hotel has two restaurants: Osteria Pagliazza, serving Tuscan cuisine, and Santa Elisabetta, a two-Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant in the Byzantine tower. Breakfast includes homemade pastries, fresh juice, bacon, eggs, and pancakes. Room service is available, and some suites offer in-room dining from Santa Elisabetta.
Archaeology & Wellness
The hotel's basement houses a small archaeological museum with Roman and medieval artifacts, including a Roman calidarium (hammam). A gym is available, and select suites have private Jacuzzis. The concierge can arrange guided tours of the museum or nearby landmarks.
Heart of Florence
The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the Duomo and 1 km from Santa Maria Novella Station. Nearby landmarks include Piazza della Signoria (300 m), Uffizi Gallery (400 m), and Ponte Vecchio (500 m). Peretola Airport is 10 km away, and limo transfers can be arranged.
