Hotels in Florence
Featured Hotels
Hotel Spadai
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
The location of this stylish new hotel (it opened in 2015) couldn't be bettered – it's 100m from Florence Cathedral and in easy walking distance of the city's major sights.
Loggiato dei Serviti
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Much loved by Guide readers, Rodolfo Gattai's B&B is in 'one of Florence's loveliest squares', 'easily reached from all directions.'
Hotel Hermitage
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Overlooking the Arno, between the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi, this 'very peaceful' B&B hotel has 'marvellous views of the duomo'.
Relais Uffizi
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
By the Uffizi Gallery, Elisabetta Matucci's B&B is a 15th-century building in a little pedestrianised street (reached under an ancient arch) off the Piazza della Signoria.
Hotel Casci
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
Hotel Casci isn't fancy, but considering the location (150m from Florence Cathedral) the rates are very reasonable and the owners, the Lombardi family, pride themselves on being some of the friendliest hoteliers in town.
Hotel Monna Lisa
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
In the city centre, this Renaissance palace is now a 'beautiful and gracious' hotel with 'stunning' lounges filled with antiques and art treasures, and neo-classical drawings and sculpture by Giovanni Duprè, an ancestor of the present owners.
Hotel Tornabuoni Beacci
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
'Excellently located', this 'beautifully kept' B&B hotel has been run for many years by its owners, the Bechi family.
Villa Belvedere
Florence, Tuscany, Italy
With 'stunning views' over Florence and the surrounding hills, this family friendly hotel 'couldn't be faulted' by a visitor.
Art, architecture and history The wealth of world-class art and architecture found in Florence brings the tourist masses flocking, but the city offers more: along with great restaurants and nightlife, there is a flourishing contemporary art, opera and classical music scene. Just wandering the narrow medieval streets is an experience in itself, or standing on the Arno River watching the light change with the time of day. For a respite from the city and crowds, head to Boboli Gardens, which has beautiful gardens and panoramic views of Florence. Don't miss the city's newly-gentrified Oltrarno district (the area across the Arno River). What was a large open-air car park has been transformed into a pedestrianized square, and boutiques, restaurants and bars are bringing visitors to a characterful area previously overlooked. Our selection of hotels ranges from gorgeous restored palaces in the centre of town to restful retreats on the outskirts with swimming pools and gardens. Here are four fabulous hotels in Florence.
