Grand Hotel Baglioni, Florence

Always a symbol of Florentine hospitality, the Grand Hotel Baglioni has recently been renovated to offer guests an experience in perfect harmony between tradition and absolute comfort. In every room of the luxurious 19th-century palace, which once housed the residence of Prince Carrega Bertolini, Studio Monaco Arch. Lab has recreated unique atmospheres inspired by the most classic elegance. In the common areas and the 192 bedrooms, the fine wood furnishings play a leading role, as do the soft fabrics, exquisite parquet floors, coffered ceilings, wrought iron details and splendid leaded glass windows from which warm, soft light filters in. Equally refined, the choices made for the interior design of the bathrooms emphasise the uncompromising quality and timeless style of some of Devon&Devon's most classic products, such as the Elite marble floors, the Claridge, Jacqueline, Premiere, Colette and Wide Blues consoles, the Oxford and Rose 19th-century style sanitaryware and the Argo, Decor, Daisy, Beauty and New York accessories.
