Grand Hotel Baglioni
The hotel was very nice, incredible terrace views of the duomo and had very hospitable staff. The breakfast selection was great as well. Our room was a good size. I only subtracted a star because the bed was a bit too stiff and the heat wasn’t quite warming up to what I set it to.

Grand Hotel Cavour
This is a great hotel in the center of everything in Florence. The staff was clear and efficient, the room was comfortable and beautiful in an understated way and the balcony on our second floor room gave us a terrific view of the street. I would recommend this hotel.
