Perched on a hilltop in the historical centre of Perugia, the Hotel Brufani Palace is a grand hotel built in 1883 which offers an enchanting view of the Umbrian valley. A former inn, its many illustrious guests included Prince Albert of Monaco and the Queen Mother of England. It has retained many of its original details and decoration - and its considerable charm has been enhanced by a recent refurbishment. Spacious halls and public areas with their painted high ceilings and original parquet floors have an antique splendor — great stone fireplaces are lit in winter, precious chandeliers and antique furniture transmit an immediate sense of warmth and contribute in creating an atmosphere which recalls the "Belle Époque" period.

Hotel Brufani Palace offers 94 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, all equipped with modern amenities and comfort. When it comes to dining, the restaurant "Collins" prepares regional cuisine and has an outdoor terrace in for dining in summer. The bar is decorated in an English style and serves afternoon teas as well as cocktails. If you want to unwind, the Sina Fitness Club features an attractive indoor swimming-pool with a glass floor that reveals old Etruscan ruins. Alongside this, you'll find a gym, sauna, steam bath, whirlpool and chaises-longues.

Hotel Brufani Palace is located in a prominent position in the historical centre of the city, which, with its many one-way cobbled streets, is best experienced on foot. Highlights of the city include the Cathedral, frescoes by Perugino, its many streetscapes and its Etruscan ruins. The city is also famous for its chocolate and the city hosts a chocolate festival every October.
