Historic Building Features
The 16th-century palazzo, attributed to Bartolomeo Ammannati, features a graffiti facade by Giorgio Vasari. Some guest rooms have original frescoes or decorated wooden ceilings. The building also contains private residences, offices, and an auction house.
“Hotel Bavaria's central location, steps from Florence's main attractions, makes it an ideal base; the building itself exudes historic charm, some appreciate the interior design. I found the staff's attentiveness particularly noteworthy, addressing guest needs with genuine care; do note there's no elevator. Overall, it strikes me as a solid choice for those seeking an authentic Florentine experience.”
