Hotel Brunelleschi Firenze

We stayed there for our honeymoon and we just loved the hotel. Luxury room and great service. The staff were so kind and professional. I wish I could give them more than 5 starts. Thank you. You are amazing.

This hotel is so beautiful and in a great location! Everything is about 10 – 15 minute away walking distance. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly with plenty of great advice for daily adventures. The rooms were very clean and upgraded. Breakfast buffet was delicious. I would definitely stay here again in my next visit to Florence :)

We had the best stay ever! We worked with Stefano (the manager) and Raffello for an upgrade to the Duomo suite (highly recommend it) and got a great deal/​stay. The service is fantastic, great beds, very clean hotel/​rooms and very accommodating/​helpful staff. I highly recommend this hotel for those reasons as well as the beauty of the hotel and great locations. Honestly, the staff at this hotel totally made our stay in Florence wonderful!

Only four stars because I don’t want the fact that my first trip to Italy was an event of a lifetime to inflate my score.
This hotel is fantastic. It is housed partially in a building which was built in the 5^th century. 1000 years before Michelangelo! I still cannot believe that! We had no idea we had booked such a historic place but what a way to start off an amazing vacation. The staff was very helpful and our rooms were spotless on arrival. A nice bottle of bubbly greeted us in our room. The staff assisted us with restaurant recommendations and making train reservations. Each and every contact with them was pleasant and helpful.
The best part was our last day. We were notified by the staff that traffic would be a mess due to The Pope visiting Florence. When we asked how often the Pope visits no one could remember the last time any Pontiff came to town. Though our room was on the 3^rd floor the staff allowed us to view from a first floor room. Very nice of them! That was awesome and I’m not even Catholic!
We paid $ 400 per night. The experience was well worth it.

**Posting on my stepdad’s behalf**
Over the past twenty-​five years, traveling as a consultant, I have stayed in over 300 hotels encompassing over 2000 nights’ stay. At Marriott Hotels alone, I earned over three million points. Thus, I have the perspective to write this review.
The Hotel Brunelleschi in Florence is quite simply, perfect. It is perfect in every aspect. The rooms are comfortable, the amenities delightful, the beds supremely comfortable, and the breakfast buffet is awesome. The hotel location– a few blocks north of the Piazza Signoria/​Palazzo Vecchio and a block and a half south of the Chiesa Santa Maria del Fiore (The Duomo/​Campanille/​Baptistry) — puts it within walking distance of any of Florence’s attractions. Most appreciated, the staff has an incredibly helpful, cheerful, and positive attitude. If you are going to be away from home, no place I have ever stayed does so well at making you feel like you are, indeed, at home.
Though officially rated at four stars, I give the Hotel Brunelleschi a five star rating. It is, quite simply, among the five best hotels I have stayed at anywhere in the world

Lovely hotel! Great location! We had a juniir suite and it was lovely. We stayed in Baglioni Hotels in Rome & Venice and liked them more but this is still a lovely hotel. I would have given 5 stars but there were a few things that were odd for such a nice hotel. The dirty glasses were not removed or cleaned daily. Turn-​down was inconsistent. Amenities were not replaced consistently. The bed was hard & the pillows were horrible. We had sore necks & backs during our stay. None of the hotels in Italy have irons for clothing and they all charge a hefty sum for pressing. You can take your clothing to local lavanderias for all laundry services at reasonable prices.

Our stay here could have gotten off to a rocky start as the hotel claimed they were having IT issues and that we were going to be moved to another hotel. This is where the wifey wanted to be so after some firm discussion, the manager somehow found a suite that the current tenants left early. Not buying that but in the end, we received the upgrade and the wife got to stay where she wanted.
This place was great. Super clean, very friendly, and right in the middle of everything you want to see. It is difficult to find for a day or two but so is everything else here. The front desk has great maps to keep you on track. Worst case scenario, you get lost for a bit and enjoy some awesome scenery or great food.
A few notes:
*they have everything a U.S. Hotel has for toiletries, etc. you don’t need to bring your gallon of shampoo. They have a built in hairdryer for the wife (or your mullet) and the only thing lacking is an iron (Italy doesn’t supply them in hotels.)
*The room had an American plug but you still want to bring a couple adapters to charge all of your stuff.
*You are a 13 minute walk from the train station or about a 15 euro (6 minute) cab ride to the train station.
*Ask to see the museum in the basement. They found Roman bathes while renovating and there are some cool displays downstairs.
*The front desk will happily call to confirm tours and such to save your painful Italian and conserve your over-​priced US phone minutes.

One of the best hotels to stay in Florence! You are in the shadows of the Duomo off this quaint little street. Their restaurant Santa Elisabetta is probably one of the most romantic and historic restaurants I’ve ever been in (only 7 tables!). We saw a proposal there! The byzantine tower that makes up a portion of the hotel is the oldest building in Florence! Such history and charm here. What really makes the experience is the staff. They really go out of their way to make your stay truly special. I really felt at home here, like they were family. Oh, and you should also check out their breakfast spread in the morning. Any dietary concerns? They have it covered with gluten-​free options AND vegan options… in Italy!!! Really impressed. Love this place!

Honestly, an amazing hotel with incredibly helpful staff. Top shelf accommodations, and the continental breakfast kicks butt! So centrally located that it’s nuts! Can’t imagine a better place to stay in the center of Florence!

What a terrific place! I don’t know where to start. We stayed in several 4+ star hotels in Lake Como, Portofino & Florence on our 2 week trip this year, and this was one of the most memorable. Location: terrific, tucked away on a side street off the Duomo & walkable to everything. The room/​décor — call it contemporary italian, very stylish. We splurged on one of the executive panorama rooms which was a real treat with a round bed, 3 walls of city views & the Duomo — bam! right there in your face. The décor was terrific and we loved the details such as robes, coffee pots, 2x a day maid/​turn down service, and a welcome bottle of prosseco & hand-​written greeting. Note, this room is designed as a 2 story room with stairs from the bathroom up to the bedroom area — not an issue for us, as we are fit, but note-​worthy for an older couple. The service was exceptional, starting with our check-​in, personalized escort to our room, and with greeting by the staff every time we left or entered the hotel. The breakfast buffet was one of the most elaborate we had seen on our trip, with the typical european array but also with eggs, sausage & other more international choice — beautiful. The hotel itself is just gorgeous. I will definately be back next time we are in Florence.
