A quiet oasis in a beautiful city…we highly recommend!!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, every detail was perfect! The hotel is lovely, in a quiet nook near the Duomo. We loved hearing the bells every morning through our open window! Our connecting rooms were pristine and comfortable, with plenty of hot water and towels, and turndown service with chocolates. The housekeeping staff was so personable , kept us well supplied with bottles of water while also keeping our rooms immaculate. The porters ( hello, Samuel!), concierge, and front desk staff greeted us daily with warmth and patience, and were so helpful (especially after my husband lost his cellphone!) I cannot think of a nicer experience we have ever had in a hotel…perfection!! We would love to return!!

Not just the location
Pros:

The Brunelleschi is a wonderful hotel. To be sure, the location makes it fantastic. But it is so much more than that. It is an amazing building and our room, a suite, was perfect. But what really made it special was the phenomenal, warm and welcoming service — from the food service to the cleaning to the reception personnel and with special recognition to the best concierge service you will ever find, the Brunelleschi will give you an experience that is both exciting and relaxing, professional and so very friendly. We loved it.

Wonderful hotel in the centre of Florence.
Pros:

This was our third stay at the Brunelleschi Hotel - we love coming back here.The hotel is an oasis of calm and refined elegance in the centre of the town.
It is perfectly situated for easily visiting all the sights of Florence , and is very close to the Duomo.
Rooms are very well equipped , breakfast is delicious, as are meals in the adjoining restaurant.
It is the staff who make this hotel extra special. The girls who clean the rooms, ( to the highest quality), the reception staff , the waiters and the concierges are all exemplary. Nothing is too much trouble .Several of the staff have been here each time we have stayed here, and we regard them as friends.
We will return again!

A beautiful stay
Pros:

After a long day of travel, long lines and NO baggage, we walked into the Brunelleschi. I said here we are, but with nothing else. They immediately started to care for us, taking a copy of our lost luggage report and assuring us that our room would have everything we needed to be comfortable. Although our room was not yet ready, we were hungry and the beautiful patio was beckoning. After a quick bite to eat and a couple of glasses of pinot grigio, our room was ready. They escorted us so we knew how to make our way (two elevators), and once we entered, we were home for 4 nights. Not only did we have ample supplies of toothpaste, etc., but a bottle of prosecco awaited us. Our view of the Duomo and Bell Tower were stunning. It was just perfect.
Later, after checking with the airline, I went back to the desk and told them my update. Raffaele was now at the concierge desk. He told me that there was no need to check back with the airline, that they would do that and keep me informed. They had all my information. And they did exactly that. Every day, Raffaele and his team reached out to British Airways and let me know exactly what the update was. By day 2, we had one bag (my husband's), and by Day 3, mine had arrived. Thank goodness for the H & M nearby.
I cannot give enough thanks and praise to Raffaele and the team at the concierge desk at the Brunelleschi. Service overall at the hotel was excellent. They actually ruined it for us at the other very nice hotels we stayed at on our journey. From assisting with restaurant reservations, following up with one when I was upset about the service (Raffaele made sure that the restaurant made it up to me with a bottle of Chianti....totally NOT necessary but incredibly gracious. I carried it all the way home), giving recommendations on travel to Siena, on and on, they were simply fabulous. On our last night, we happened to be outside when Raffaele was leaving for the weekend. A quick hug and kisses on both cheeks, I felt like I was saying goodbye to a friend.
The hotel has history, quirks, the furniture may be a tad worn, the food on the bar menu may not be my absolute favorite (we did not order off the Michelin star rated menu), BUT, the next time I return to Florence, I will definitely stay at the Brunelleschi. The staff, starting with the front desk and Raffaele's team are exemplary, the rooms bright and clean, beds comfortable, view and location exceptional. What more can you ask when visiting such a beautiful city but a beautiful stay....

Memorable 40th Anniversary Experience.
Pros:

Our stay at Hotel Brunelleschi was excellent from start to finish. We felt welcomed from the moment we walked in, and the staff was attentive to every need throughout our stay.

The beds were very comfortable, and the room was spotless. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a junior suite in celebration of our 40th anniversary, which made our visit even more special.

We appreciated all the thoughtful touches—complimentary water bottles, evening turndown service, delicious chocolates each night, and fresh towels provided daily whether we requested them or not.

A truly wonderful experience, and we would absolutely stay here again.
