Built around a Byzantine tower and a medieval church, the modern Hotel Brunelleschi, one block from Il Duomo cathedral in central Florence, maintains the architectural characteristics of the renovated historic buildings that it occupies. All 96 air conditioned guestrooms are decorated in rich tones with antique style furniture in dark wood; rooms also feature marble bathrooms and are equipped with minibars and cable television. Dial up Internet connection is available for a fee
The first floor of the hotel doubles as an event space, and showcases original 1920s Tiffany style stained glass windows. Downstairs, a private museum features antique ceramics, crockery, and original Roman baths. Guests can wine and dine in the Santa Elisabetta Restaurant, which offers buffet breakfasts and a la carte Italian cuisine at lunch and dinner. The hotel benefits from business services and there is high speed Internet access in public areas. Hotel guests will find themselves right in the heart of historic Florence; the Bargello, San Lorenzo church and the shops and boutiques on Via Tornabouni are just three blocks away. The hotel is approximately 10 kilometers and a twenty minute drive from Florence Airport. Taxis are commonly used to get from the airport to town, although it is also possible to take the half hourly bus to Santa Maria Novella Station in the center of Florence.
