The Hotel Brunelleschi is situated in the very heart of renaissance Florence and it is the result of the restoration of the priceless artistic structures of the Byzantine Tower of Pagliazza and the Medieval Church of S. Michele in Palchetto. Its reconstruction, although providing the hotel with the most modern comforts, has left the unique architectural characteristics unchanged. All of the archeological finds discovered during the restoration are exhibited to the public in the hotel's private museum located in the Roman baths. The hotel has 96 beautifully decorated rooms all with air conditioning, direct dial phones, satellite television, minibar and a bathrobe. The hotel's restaurant features regional Tuscan specialties. There is also an American bar. FROM 13-15Jan09, 16-20Jun09, 23-30Jun09, 01-03Jul09; for late cancellations, total amount of stay will be charged.
