4-star historic hotel with a 360-degree rooftop view of Florence

Rooms & Technology

The 192 rooms are styled in traditional Florentine decor with wooden beams and parquet floors inside a former residence of the Carrega Bertolini Princes. Each room receives a smartphone with free local and international calls plus mobile internet, and the minibar offers complimentary soft drinks. Guests also get a complimentary bottle of wine through the Expedia Gold member benefit, and turn-down service adds chocolates on pillows each evening.

Dining & Rooftop

The B-Roof Restaurant serves breakfast and typical Tuscan cuisine for lunch and dinner from a dining room and terrace that face the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore and Giotto's Bell Tower. Dinner at the rooftop requires a reservation due to high local demand, and the menu includes a variety of Tuscan specialties with wine pairings. Themed dinner nights are also organized on the roof terrace during select evenings.

Location & Transport

The hotel is 300 metres from Santa Maria Novella Train Station, with an underground passage that deposits travelers right outside the lobby. The Duomo di Firenze, Uffizi Gallery, and Palazzo Vecchio are all within a 20-minute walk. A tram stop is one minute from the hotel, offering direct service to the airport in 20 minutes for 1 euro 30.

Wellness & Accessibility

A wellness room with a Finnish sauna is available for guests seeking relaxation after a day of sightseeing. The hotel has emergency cords in bathrooms, lower sinks, raised toilets, and grab rails for wheelchair accessibility. Allergy-free rooms and soundproof rooms are also offered on request.

Business & Family Services

The hotel provides a business centre, meeting and banquet facilities, and personalized banqueting services for events and weddings. Family rooms are available, and babysitting and child services can be arranged through the concierge. A shared lounge and TV area offers additional common space, and the 24-hour front desk handles currency exchange and luggage storage.

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Grand Hotel Baglioni enjoys a perfect location near Santa Maria Novella train station and within walking distance of The Duomo, making it a great base for exploring Florence. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some even offering views of the Duomo. Breakfast is extensive, with an exceptional view from the restaurant; however, some guests have found the hotel decor to be somewhat tired. The rooftop bar, named 'B roof', is also a highlight, offering beautiful views and sometimes live music.

underwhelming stay. the room needed attention.

loud plumbing thin walls
the hotel's location near the train station proved acceptable. it made arrival and departure easy.
the room felt quite dated. the plumbing made loud noises. the walls seemed thin so conversations in adjacent rooms were easily heard. this lack of soundproofing really detracted from any sense of tranquility.

a satisfactory stay

connecting rooms boxed breakfast small balcony limited selections
I secured connecting rooms. It was a bonus. the rooms had decent size and views. breakfast offered many options. the staff even prepared a boxed breakfast when i had to leave early.
My room felt dark. It lacked windows. the balcony area was small. there was only one comfortable chair, inadequate for two people. the selections in the rooftop restaurant seemed limited and overpriced too.
