— Florence, Italy —
Hotel Brunelleschi
An Insider's Take
'Where Byzantine history meets Renaissance luxury in the heart of Florence's medieval quarter.'
What's Special?
Hotel Brunelleschi is built around a genuine 6th-century Byzantine tower and incorporates remnants of a Roman caldarium (bath house) discovered during construction. The hotel's museum displays ancient artifacts unearthed on-site, making it a living piece of Florentine history. Its location on Via de' Calzaiuoli places guests on the ancient Roman road that connected the Forum to the Amphitheater.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a tower room to sleep within the actual Byzantine walls, and visit the hotel's small museum in the basement to see Roman and medieval artifacts found during renovations.
Don't Miss
The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of Brunelleschi's Dome (the hotel's namesake architect), and you're just steps from hidden gems like the Mercato del Porcellino and the secret Vasari Corridor entrance. The nearby Orsanmichele church, a former grain market turned into a stunning outdoor sculpture gallery, is often overlooked by tourists.
