Guadagni Palace Hotel

It is the first loggia of the Florentine Renaissance that looks down, elegant and discreet, on the façade of the Basilica of Santo Spirito, designed by Brunelleschi with a single, soft stroke.

Guadagni Palace, an imposing residence on the corner between the square and via Mazzetta - which houses the hotel of the same name - has a long and rich history, which has its roots in the early sixteenth century, when the Dei family, powerful fabric merchants, had it built on a brand new Piazza Santo Spirito (the basilica had been finished just thirty years before the construction of the palace, dating back to 1505).

Under the suggestive loggia, where today the guests of the 15 rooms have breakfast or sip a drink at the end of the day together with those who, even if not staying in the building, want to enjoy the Florentine sunset from a new perspective, the fabrics were once hung out to dry freshly woven.

The historic sixteenth-century residence Guadagni Palace, happily transformed into a refined 3-star hotel, confirms its long and dedicated vocation for hospitality. In Piazza Santo Spirito on the corner with via Mazzetta around a central courtyard, Palazzo Guadagni stands out for its loggia, redeveloped as an evocative roof garden overlooking the historic center and the Florentine hills. The interiors of this elegant 16th century structure have been admirably restored, showing off valuable environments characterized by elegant lounges, frescoed vaults and antique furnishings.

A classic of elegance, distinction and family welcome, for a boutique hotel in Florence with timeless charm. The Hotel Palazzo Guadagni exudes, in its lounges and bright rooms furnished with period furniture, a genuine atmosphere of an ancient private Florentine residence.
