Written by Paolo Gori, Managing Director
Hotel Duomo Firenze has 24 rooms on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors of Palazzo Ranieri Gondi, on Piazza del Duomo. 13 of them look directly onto the Cathedral and Brunelleschi’s Dome; three of these have a private balcony. This page describes every room type, with room numbers, so you know exactly what you are booking.
How to choose
- For the closest view of the Dome: DeLuxe No. 40.
- For a private balcony facing the Duomo: No. 31 (double, 16 m²), No. 33 (double, 11 m²) or No. 32 (single).
- For a family of three or four: the two Superior Triples, rooms 23 and 37 (a cot can be added).
- For a quiet night at a lower price: the Classic rooms on the inner courtyard. The Dome is a few steps away on the shared panoramic terrace.
