What you're near — and what you're not
- The Arno riverfront (on the piazza)
- Santa Maria Novella (8 min)
- Via de' Tornabuoni (8 min)
- Duomo and Uffizi (10–12 min walk)
- Slightly off the densest sightseeing core
What you're paying for
Opulent rooms and suites with classic Florentine and Medici-inspired decor; the premium categories face the Arno. A river-view room is the one to request — the difference in experience justifies the upgrade for many guests.
