Historic Building Accommodations

Hotel Accademia occupies a 14th-century palazzo that was once the home of Bernardo Cennini, a sculptor who worked on the Baptistery of San Giovanni doors. Original period stained-glass windows remain throughout the building. Rooms include double, triple, and quadruple configurations with private bathrooms, air conditioning, satellite TV, telephones, safes, and hairdryers. Carrara marble floors feature in common areas.

Breakfast and Common Areas

A breakfast buffet with juices, milk, espresso, cappuccino, and fruits is served daily in a room with an antique pietra serena fireplace. Common areas include an internet point, a reading room, and a small outdoor garden with bar service.

Central Florence Location

The hotel sits 400 meters from Santa Maria Novella train station (8-minute walk) and 10 km from Peretola Airport. It is 50 meters from the Cathedral, 5 minutes from the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile, 9 minutes from the Accademia Gallery, and 15 minutes from the Uffizi Gallery. The Medici Chapel is directly adjacent to the property.

Guest Services Available

Services include an affiliated parking garage nearby, laundry service on request, and free WiFi throughout. The hotel accommodates pets and offers ironing facilities upon request.

Transportation Access Options

From Santa Maria Novella Station, take a 5-minute taxi or 8-minute walk. From Florence Airport, take a taxi or shuttle bus to the station. By car, follow signs for the historic centre and Santa Maria Novella station, then proceed along Via Nazionale.

“Hotel Accademia occupies a prime spot in Florence, a short walk from the train station and iconic sights. The building itself exudes historic charm; its 14th-century architecture and original stained glass lend character. I think its smaller size allows for personalized service-a real advantage in a busy city.”
