Who? Hotel Brunelleschi What? How many hotels can boast its own museum? Hotel Brunelleschi is certainly one.

Renovated as recently as 2012, it really is luxury in the heart of Florence. Perhaps that’s why it is, amongst other things, a member of the Great Hotels of the World Luxury Collection. When? Open year round Where? Piazza Santa Elisabetta, 3 50122 Florence, Italy How?
