Grand Hotel Florence
in the series The Most Famous Hotels in the World™

We would like to thank Dr Antonello de’ Medici, general manager, and Judith Otto, director of sales and marketing of the Grand Hotel and the Hotel Excelsior in Florence, who were the driving forces behind this history project.
Special thanks go to Francesca Govoni, who – in charge of public relations – assisted so
valuably during the entire project.
It must be noted with greatest respect that the management of the hotel decided to accept historical facts rather than old legends and traditionally distributed myths.
We are in particular indebted to all former and current members of the staff, who contributed so generously to this book. We also like to thank Robert Koren, Giuliano Corsi,
Marco Milocco, Monique Kraft, Gerardo Kraft and all the others
who are not mentioned here by name.
Photographs: Archives of the hotel, Jaime Ardiles-Arce, Matteo Sandi, Andrea Ruggeri,
Marco Ravasini, Pollazzi Foto, the private collections of Ellen Puccinelli Sannini and Andreas Schoellkopf, Famous Hotels Archives and the Antonio Deperte Collection.
