Located on the pedestrianised Via dei Calzaiuoli between the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, Hotel Calzaiuoli boasts an unbeatable location in Florence’s Centro Storico. This wide, lively street links two of the city’s main squares and is lined with stores, cafes and gelaterias, so you’re always close to a coffee stop or a little retail therapy. All the must-see sights are within a short amble, and there’s plenty to catch the eye as you join locals on a traditional passeggiata (evening stroll).
The 54 rooms and suites are elegant and comfortable, with parquet flooring, heritage detailing, and neutral hues creating a calm, relaxed feel. Soundproofed windows and air-conditioning help cocoon you from hot summer nights and the lively central location. Prestige rooms can feature frescoed ceilings, city views, small balconies, and in-room Jacuzzis, while the Junior Suite offers a particularly striking outlook over the Duomo and Bargello.
An inviting breakfast buffet sets you up for a day of exploration, while the cozy reading room is an ideal spot to relax with a book and glass of prosecco before heading out for dinner.
