Florence, like many Italian cities, is experiencing a renaissance in terms of hospitality. And it means that some of the most affordable hotels in Florence are also some of the best places to stay. Unlike Milan and Rome, where there has been a five-star luxury boom, this darling Tuscan city has unleashed a wave of smaller, cozy boutique hotels for bedding down that won’t break the bank.
Each property has its own personality; whether you’re drawn to contemporary, design-led spaces filled with modern art or prefer a hotel that reflects the city’s rich heritage with antique furnishings, frescoed walls, or vaulted ceilings, there’s something here to suit every taste. Some are in the heart of the city center, convenient for dipping in and out between sightseeing, while others are tucked away in quieter neighborhoods lining the banks of the Arno, or hidden among the narrow, artisan-filled streets of the Oltrarno.
Whatever speaks to you, keep scrolling. Below, we’ve gathered nine of the nicest, yet most affordable hotels in Florence for the ultimate city retreat.
