Grand Hotel Baglioni

HISTORIC FLORENTINE BUSINESSES

Housed in a magnificent palace built in 1860 for Prince Carrega di Lucedio, Hotel Baglioni was officially opened on August 12, 1903, by Leopoldo Baglioni. The ambitious architectural project transformed the former stables and courtyard into the grand hall seen today, while carefully preserving the majestic ceremonial staircase and princely salons. By 1907, the hotel had already become a beacon of world-class sophistication. Its century-long history saw it endure two World Wars and the Great Flood of 1966, remaining under the Baglioni family’s stewardship for four generations. Today, a meticulous restyling celebrates its royal origins, offering a perfect balance between modern luxury and its noble historical memory.
