Booking a room of this 4-star hotel in central Florence means entering the heart of the city, getting to know its historical roots. Our hotel bears the name of one of the old owners of the building, Filippo Brunelleschi, a wonderful Renaissance artist author of the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore.

The very Torre della Pagliazza (541-544 AD), a unique building in the whole Tuscan capital and symbol of the hotel, is one of the remotest buildings within the city walls and today houses the Pagliazza Tower Suite on the third and fourth floor, a conference hall for business meetings on the second floor, the Gourmet Restaurant Santa Elisabetta on the first floor, and the Osteria Pagliazza on the ground floor.

Let yourself be accompanied by the concierge at the Museo della Pagliazza among the archaeological finds discovered during the excavations in the basement of the Torre della Pagliazza and you will be able to study closely a Roman “calidarium”, a hammam used in ancient times for the sauna. You will also admire fragments from the Roman era and a Renaissance collection of Montelupo ceramics.

The Brunelleschi is a luxury romantic hotel located in the very heart of Florence, giving you easy access to all the main attractions and monuments: in fact, the hotel is just a few minute walk from Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio, so you will be able to wander around the city on foot, which is a total blessing considering that you will not have to pay for any mean of transport and you will fully enjoy the spirit of the city.
