5. Grand Hotel Cavour Florence – Gay Friendly Hotel Florence
Our last recommendation for a gay friendly hotel in Florence is a 4* hotel located in the city center of Firenze.
Grand Hotel Cavour has a rooftop terrace with over Florence Cathedral. It offers a grand entrance hall with free WiFi, marble floors and statues, and elegant rooms with air conditioning.
The Uffizi Gallery and the are both less than 600 m from the Grand Hotel Cavour. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is just a few steps away.
The restaurant serves classic Italian cuisine and regional specialties, made using local ingredients. Cocktails are available at the bar, open until midnight.
This hotel is in a great location for exploring the whole of Florence. Everything you would want to see is within walking distance and there are some great places to eat nearby. For example, Yellow, The Fish Lab and the Piccatori. Another great restaurant is the Bocadama in Sante Croce square. But the list is endless!
The rooms are clean and spacious and the whole place felt very friendly and safe. If you are a light sleeper take ear plugs though, as it is very difficult to get away from the hourly bells, as the hotel is near to many bell towers including the Duomo. However, I imagine this would be an issue in many hotels in Florence.
The rooms are spacious, well appointed with a luxury bathroom. The bathroom are well equipped and large enough for its purpose
The breakfast is amazing with a large variety of choices including American favorites: pancakes, waffles, crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausage links. There are also fresh fruit, juices, nuts, bread, yogurt, cereals, cold milk, cold cuts, cheese slices and even fresh honeycomb!
There is a beautiful but tiny rooftop bar with great views; you’ll need to reserve a table in advance.
