A 3-star boutique hotel occupying a Renaissance building designed by Brunelleschi's circle, on the elegant Piazza della Santissima Annunziata near the Accademia Gallery.
Hotel Loggiato dei Serviti occupies a Renaissance-era building on Piazza della Santissima Annunziata, one of Florence's most architecturally harmonious squares, designed with a portico that mirrors Brunelleschi's Ospedale degli Innocenti opposite. The building itself dates to the 16th century and was originally built to house the Servite friars associated with the adjacent basilica.
The hotel's rooms retain the vaulted ceilings and thick masonry walls of the original structure, furnished in a simple, tasteful style with antique-inspired pieces. Many of the smaller details - stone stairwells, original beams - remain visible, giving the hotel a genuine sense of its Renaissance origins without excessive ornamentation.
The piazza location is exceptionally quiet for central Florence, largely free of the crowds that gather around the Duomo just a few streets south. The Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo's David, is a two-minute walk, and the Duomo is approximately eight minutes on foot.
