Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Contemporary rooms and suites in a clean, light Italian style, with the top categories offering Duomo or piazza views. Because the location is so central, lower-floor or square-facing rooms can catch street noise; request a higher or interior room for quiet.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
You can't get more central — the Duomo, Uffizi and Via de' Tornabuoni shopping are all a short stroll away.
Not independently verified — estimated
Sitting on a major piazza means more bustle and street noise than the tucked-away palazzo hotels; ask for a quieter interior room.
