Hotel Brunelleschi

Contact us

The Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence is located only a stone’s throw away from the Uffizi Gallery, Piazza della Signoria and one of the world’s most famous shopping streets.

The hotel was converted from a Byzantine tower (6th century) and medieval church and offers all the comforts of a modern hotel but keeps all the character of the original buildings.

This charming four-star hotel offers two restaurants, three meeting areas, a gym and 96 rooms and suites, some with a jacuzzi and spectacular views of the Duomo. The hotel is a perfect option for a short weekend break to discover the capital of Tuscany.
