Located in the heart of Florence near the San Lorenzo Central Market, Glance Hotel is housed in a building designed by renowned architect Italo Gamberini in the early 1950s.
The name Glance refers to the attention to detail that makes the building so special. On each floor, space is given over to an iconic reworking of one of Florence’s most famous Renaissance sculptures.
Details from Michelangelo’s David, Giambologna’s Rape of the Sabines, Ammannati’s Neptune, and Baccio Bandinelli’s Hercules and Cacus are therefore reproduced on entire walls, as the main themes of a narrative which is contemporary while also paying tribute to Florence’s artistic and historical heritage.
Our meticulous customer care can be seen in our impeccable service, the comfort of the rooms and the design details…touches of class that are easy to spot at first glance.
