The hype
Travelers obsess over the interior design and the comfortable beds, but often wish the standard rooms were just a few feet wider.
The Hoxton, Florence
$170-300 / gabi
I-book ito kung You want the 'cool kid' Florence experience—sipping negronis in a stylish courtyard away from the suffocating tourist crush of the Duomo.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- The design is impeccable—a mashup of 16th-century palazzo and 80s postmodernism that actually works
- The open-air courtyard is one of the best aperitivo spots in the city
- It feels like a real neighborhood, not a Epcot version of the Renaissance
Mabilis na Sumisid: A painfully stylish hotel that trades square footage for vibes, located just far enough from the center to filter out the fanny packs.
Sinuri ng @stylenecessity: I stayed at The Hoxton Florence and the design completely blew me away. The peach walls and that iconic wavy mirror made getting ready so much fun. It’s not just a room, it’s a total vibe—perfect for anyone who loves retro-modern aesthetics.

Reality check
Soundproofing is a frequent gripe—while windows block street noise well, the hallway doors are thin, letting in the sounds of every late-night returner.
- You appreciate 'Wes Anderson' aesthetics over traditional luxury
- You want a lively lobby culture where locals actually hang out
- You are traveling with a dog (extremely pet-friendly with no extra fees)

“I would love a room on a higher floor facing away from the elevators to minimize hallway noise. If available, a 'Cosy' or 'Roomy' with a view of the internal courtyard would be ideal.”
FAQ & Mga Nakatagong Tip
Lahat ng kailangan mong malaman bago ka magbook.
Is it really far from the center?
It's about a 15-20 minute flat walk to the Duomo. It feels far when you're tired, but it's manageable.
Is there a pool?
No pool. If you need a dip, you'll have to find a public pool or a different hotel.
Do they have parking?
No free parking. They partner with a garage nearby for about €45/day, or you can hunt for street parking (good luck).
Is it good for families?
Not really. The rooms are small and max occupancy is usually two. You'd need to book the 'Hox House' apartment for a group.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! They are genuinely dog-friendly and don't charge extra fees, which is rare in Florence.
Is there a resort fee?
No resort fee, just the standard Florence city tax (~€7 per person/night).
Mga Insider Tips
- ✨
Grab a free bike from the lobby to cut the commute to the center in half.
- ✨
The lobby shop sells wine and snacks at near-supermarket prices—much cheaper than the minibar.
- ✨
Ask for a room in the 'Modern' building if you prefer 80s design, or the 'Palazzo' building for high ceilings and original details.
5 bagay na dapat mong malaman bago ka umalis
💡The 'Breakfast in a Bag' is literally a banana and a cookie—don't pay extra for it.
💡The shower pressure is surprisingly excellent, a rarity in Italian hotels.
💡The lobby is a popular co-working spot for locals, so it can be hard to find a seat with a laptop during the day.
💡You are right next to the 'Viali' (ring road), so street-facing rooms can get traffic rumble if you open the window.
💡The pillows are often complained about for being too flat/soft.
