Hotel Grand Hotel Baglioni (Summit Hotels and Resorts), Florence (Firenze), Itália (Florence (Firenze), Italy)

Dating from the 19th century, the charming Grand Hotel Baglioni was once the residence of the Carrega Bertolini princes. High, coffered-wood ceilings, stone staircases and large windows with original leaded panes have been preserved, along with an elegant, understated Tuscan charm. Dining is a treat, with the panoramic restaurant and roof garden yielding breathtaking city views. Guests savor seasonal specialties, surrounded by the rooftops, domes and spires of ancient Florentine buildings and overlooking the Tuscan hills beyond. During summer months, with the pianist playing as the sun sets, there's nowhere more magical.
