Situated in a tiny, quiet square within the very heart of Renaissance Florence, the Hotel Brunelleschi is the result of an extraordinary fusion. The restoration of the priceless structures of the Byzantine Tower of Pagliazza, built in the 6th Century, and the Medieval Church of S. Michelle in Palchetto, built in the 12th Century, has transformed these architectural treasures into a splendid luxury hotel.

The first-floor of the hotel doubles as an event space, and showcases original 1920s Tiffany-style stained-glass windows by the designer Galileo Chini. Downstairs, a private museum features antique ceramics, crockery, and original Roman baths. Other amenities include a bar and a restaurant.

Visitors will find a perfect marriage of ancient beauty and modern luxury.

Hotel Brunelleschi houses a small museum in the basement of ancient Pagliazza Tower, around which it is built. Here, displays of ceramics and crockery date from Roman times to post-Renaissance. A majority of the works was discovered in the ancient well at the tower's base. One of the rooms leads to the foundations of the tower, where original Roman brickwork can be seen, as well as an original Roman floor. Another room leads to original Roman baths.

The first floor of the hotel doubles as a lounge and event space. Decorated in a 1920s style with original stained-glass windows, the area showcases designs from the Royal Palace of Bangkok, created by designer Galileo Chini. Four additional private meeting rooms are available for hire. Other amenities include concierge services, dry cleaning services, and valet parking.
