The Grand Hotel Florence

The Grand Hotel Florence


No, this is not a museum. This just happens to be our hotel room in Florence, where we have a free night, courtesy of my husband's Starwood Rewards Points!


According to the hotel website:

The Grand Hotel was originally home to the noble Guintini family. In the second half of the 18th Century, Florence undertook a citywide renovation, at which time the former palace was converted into a hotel. Overlooking the arno river, and located just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Uffizi Gallery and Academia, the Grand Hotel is emblematic of the city's rich history reflecting the crucial stages of social and architectural development in the Tuscan capital.


I am truly living in a dream! Ironically, nearby dining is not too expensive. We had lunch at a wonderful little restaurant near the hotel. Bacchus serves a prix fix lunch menu which includes antipasto, a main entree and a pitcher of mineral water for 10 euro. Not cheap but not bad!
