The courtyard is the perfect place for aperitivo hour, then dinner in a garden...
The welcome view: a terrazzo lobby leading to the front desk
You might find yourself lost at some point...and that's a good thing
Old palazzo meets nouveau quirk design in our spacious room
A toddler friendly welcome in Pinocchio's birthplace, from the front desk to our room
LOVED this Dadauampa toddler care package with organic baby products
The open-air terrace in the courtyard--cocktails, quiet lunch, play dates?
As per usual, Hoxton's branding is chic, quirky, clean and inviting from all angles
Negronis, of course. Not pictured: my highball with strawberry liqueur and tomato & bread cordial
Italian textiles...modern shapes
Sorry, but why doesn't every lid in the world have this handle?
Simple, clean, delicious--and oh so pretty!
Jeff in FIRENZE! Good library materials
The morning cafe and coffee is the perfect stop-in for hotel guests, but the charming window is open to street traffic
Daniel and Sloane check out the library, one of the many common areas to relax in
Dining at Alassio, indoors or out is equally desirable
Florence awaits-local, quiet, neighborhood-y...but a stone's throw from all the city hotspots
Cafe by morning, lounge by night
Chic elevator to the rooftop
BILLY! To us anyway, the star of the show
Someone was NOT pleased to leave
Highs & Lows
-
While exploring alone, a staff member asked if I wanted to “meet Billy.” Billy, the manager’s perfect golden retriever, was hanging out quietly in another room. 5 minutes with Billy set a high bar for the rest of the stay.
-
I loved the bathroom. The dark, glossy tiles were gorgeous, and every shelf, towel rack, and nook was exactly where you’d want it. A rare thing in a hotel, and this one nailed it.
-
The palazzo! They really struck the right balance between Renaissance grandeur and modern comfort. Endless spaces to wander, inside and out. There’s always someone to guide you back on track if you lose your way.
-
Especially in June, the outdoor gardens and courtyards were such a gift—lively, or peaceful depending.
-
So many food and menu options---from cocktails and dinner and bites, to late night wine, to cafe coffee and pastry in the AM.
-
The “breakfast in a bag” add-on for 5 euros is "a sweet treat, OJ, and a banana." The juice and fruit were perfect for Sloane’s breakfast on the run, but the “sweet treat” turned out to be a packaged cookie. I can’t really consider the Italian equivalent of Chips Ahoy a breakfast option, especially in a city with some of the best pastry and a cafe downstairs.

-
Designed By
As with all the locations I’ve seen, luxurious but with stylishly relaxed, contemporary charm. AIME Studios reimagined the hotel, a 16th-century residence built for the Ricasolis (wine barons since 1141), later a monastery. Preserved lime-washed walls, an elegant outdoor arcade, vaulted ceilings, frescoes dating to 1611, with mildly zany, 1980s postmodernism.
-
Health & Wellness
No onsite gym, but partnerships with Anytime Fitness, Yoga Garage, and Runners of Florence, Sergio Bianchi bikes
-
Food
Alassio served fresh pasta and seafood in a gorgeous garden or the airy indoor space. Sloane loved her red-sauce spaghetti and fritto misto. My silver platter of 4 simple langoustines was one of the most refreshing dishes of the trip. Order the highball with strawberry liqueur and tomato & bread (!) cordial. Don't miss the coffee bar/cafe.
-
Bar, Events & Nightlife
The bar in the restaurant is a cozy spot at night, plus Enoteca Violetta, the wine bar is a club-roomy, plushy spot to lounge. La Riserva, the underground wine cellar, makes a great setting for gatherings (there were several wedding events while we were there.)
-
Minibar & Retail
Behind the front desk is a selection of drinks and snacks (guaranteed at street prices, not hotel mark ups)
-
Accessibility
The entrance, elevator, lobby and guest bathrooms, front desk and restaurants are all ADA accessible (pretty much the whole hotel). There are visual and audible alarms, and phone lights and rooms for hearing impaired guests, plus the staff is trained in guest support.
-
Pet Friendly
Yes!
-
Children
Definitely! Call or email to request a kid cot or baby crib. The "House" rental is a great option for families or groups. Everyone was charming to Sloane, she was gifted a mini wood Pinocchio (Florence!). LOVED the complimentary Dadaumpa baby care kit in a little cardboard house with organic products.
-

The Hoxton Florence sits near the major city hub of Piazza della Libertà, at the northern edge of the historic center just beyond the old city walls. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the Duomo and roughly 20 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio. The neighborhood is lively and local—cafés, small boutiques, and the occasional market spilling into the streets give a real sense of everyday Florentine life.
