Aside from being one of the most unique and elegantly designed hotels in Florence, the Borghese Palace Art Hotel enjoys one of the most enviable locations in the city. This 13th century former noble residence is right in the heart of downtown historical Firenze in the cluster of medieval streets that run from Piazza del Duomo down to Ponte Vecchio.

Just next to the Bargello Museum, this modern Florence 4 star is literally on the doorstep to all of the city’s most enigmatic delights. In fact, the awesome shape of Brunelleschi’s Duomo itself is a prominent part of the skyline visible from our romantic Rooftop Terrace.

The terrace also looks out across the River Arno onto the famous Piazza Michelangelo on the south side. This gives you some idea of how central this charming Florence accommodation is to the Duomo and other famous sites in this tiny but historic city.

How to reach the Hotel

By Air

Public transport links the airport, which is only 5km out of town, with Santa Maria Novella station. From here a taxi should cost no more than about €15 or if you prefer, it’s about a 15 minute walk:

Go from the station down Via Panzani and continue onto Via de’Cerretani until you reach the Duomo (that’s that big building with the orange-coloured dome). Passing the Duomo, turn right down Via del Proconsolo and turn left onto Via Ghibellina. Borghese Art Hotel is at number 174R.
