The Grand Hotel Baglioni is situated in the heart of Florence, 300 meters from Santa Maria Novella station, just a few minutes' walk from Centro Espositivo (Exhibition Hall), from the Palazzo dei Congressi (Congress Center) and from the most important museums. The 19th c. building, once the residence of the Carrega Bertolini princes, is typical of Tuscan Architecture. Tuscany is a region dedicated to the preservation of traditions and beautiful things of the past, ever seeking to excel and to be a forerunner in all fields, as it was in times of the Medici. The Grand Hotel Baglioni offers all modern facilities while retaining typical Florentine charm and good taste.
Florence (Firenze in Italian) casts a spell in the way that few cities can - perhaps because of its sublime art; perhaps because of the views at sunset over the Arno; perhaps because somehow Florentine food and wine delight the palate. Maybe it's because the city hasn't changed all that much since the 16th century. Though Florence was briefly the capital of a newly united Italy (1865-71), its place in the sun rests squarely on its illustrious more-distant past.
