23 Best Hotels in Florence

"Facing Piazza degli Strozzi and steps from Pizza della Repubblica, you'll find traditional Florentine charm with a location in the heart of the city's action. Shoppers, take note: you're by Via Tornabuoni, not to mention some of the city's most popular sites. As for your stay, rooms feel traditional without being dated, with crisp bed linens next to covered headboards and brocaded window treatments. Rooms are spacious, especially for this part of the city; and the on-site dining includes a bar with street-side seating, for taking a break with coffee and watching the local foot traffic. You won't get a ton of bells and whistles beyond the quiet elegance and location—but in Florence, what more do you need?" - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo
