Hotel Burchianti is a hotel in the Florence district of San Lorenzo, in the city's historic centre. The business began operating in 1919 as the Pensione Burchianti.[1]
In 1936, under the management of the Burchianti sisters, the pensione hosted Swiss schoolgirls visiting Florence as well as other guests, including Gabriele D'Annunzio.[2] On 1 January 2001, the business moved from Via del Giglio 6 to the adjacent Palazzo Castiglioni on Via del Giglio 8 and adopted the name Hotel Burchianti.[3]
In 2019, La Nazione listed Hotel Burchianti among Florence's protected attività storiche, a category used for long-established local businesses whose name and activity are safeguarded.[4]
The hotel has also been noted for ghost stories associated with it. In 2011, Reuters included Hotel Burchianti in a feature on allegedly haunted hotels, describing it as a former meeting place for artists, musicians and politicians in the early to mid-20th century and reporting claims by guests of apparitions and unexplained sensations in its "Fresco room".[5]
