Like its storied Italian setting, The Hoxton, Florence is a design destination itself: with two pedigree-packed buildings, it’s a hotel with serious heritage. Its main standing dates back to the 16th century, with original frescoes adorning the Mediterranean restaurant; while rooms here are pastel-hued, those in the Eighties residence play with bold colour and postmodern motifs. Their surface styles may differ, but there’s underlying unity throughout: a dedication to community and warm, in-the-know service.

Our favourite rooms

Make like a Medici and opt for one of the rooms with a terrace for extra sprawling space — we like the Cosies for their Eighties edge, with bold Memphis Group-style graphics. The Studios are dressed in gelato-like shades of strawberry and pistachio, and their super-king-size beds are crowned by a scalloped headboard that’s inspired by the façade of Santo Spirito church. Snugs are best for solo travellers, whereas the three-bedroom House (more of an apartment) accommodates bigger coteries and clans.

Packing tips

A Gemini-like appreciation for duality: The Hoxton, Florence’s two buildings — 16th-century Renaissance versus Eighties postmodernism — showcase Italy’s contrasting design heritages.

Dogs are welcome to stay for free in any room at The Hoxton, Florence, but for space we’d go for one with a terrace. Staff will supply a bowl, bed, ball, treats and kibble. See more pet-friendly hotels in Florence.

Dress Code

Bright and bold, perhaps with one of your latest finds from any retail therapy in Oltrarno.

Hotel restaurant

Taking cues from Italy’s coastal cooking, Alassio brings a touch of the Mediterranean to Florence. The talented team of chefs put a Ligurian spin on classic dishes, paying homage to long, riviera-set lunches. Expect fresh pasta, vibrant salads and seafood crudos as colourful as the crockery they’re served on. It's an all-day spot, where first-thing cappuccini roll into leisurely brunches, before aperitivi and in-no-rush dinners — an apt introduction to local culinary culture.

Hotel bar

Wine bar Enoteca Violetta has become a neighbourhood favourite for story-spinning cocktails, regional bottles, weekend live music and hearty bar snacks — padellino pizzas, truffle fries and a pork katsu sando are delicious ways to balance out glasses of organic and classic Italian wines that slip straight down. You’ll find a second bar in the lobby, taking care of morning brews, Italian-style breakfasts and afternoon pick-me-ups (in the form of espressi, or something stronger). 

Last orders

At Alassio, breakfast is 7am to 11am, lunch from noon to 3pm, and for dinner, it’s 6pm to midnight. Enoteca Violetta opens from 5pm to midnight (kitchen closes at 10.30pm; last drinks at 11.30pm). The lobby bar serves 7am to 5pm.

Planes

Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci Airport is roughly 20 minutes’ drive from The Hoxton.

Trains

The city’s main rail hub, Santa Maria Novella, is a 10-minute cab or tram ride away; on the latter, hop off at Lavagnini Poliziano and you’re a one-minute walk from the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

Florence is a city of big hitters: postcard-perfect Ponte Vecchio, the words-don't-do-it-justice Duomo, the Uffizi Galleries and its stirring oeuvres, and manicured Giardino Bardini. Although The Hoxton, Florence sits just north of the centro storico, most loved sights are a walk away. You could also take advantage of your more residential locale and cosplay a Florentine: browse for novels or catch a film at bookshop-slash-cinema Giuni Odeon, mooch in Oltrarno’s boutiques and galleries, before settling with a spritz in Piazza Santo Spirito. For a souvenir more permanent than mealtime memories, hunt down one of the vintage Fotoautomatica booths that are dotted around the city. 

Local restaurants

Frozen-in-time Trattoria La Casalinga is a family-owned hit for traditional Tuscan recipes and wines, where hearty classics are complemented by seasonal specials in a warm-spirited setting. At lively Trattoria La Madia, red-and-white gingham tablecloths set the scene for typical Italian dinners of homemade pasta, catch of the day and Bistecca alla Fiorentina. 

Local cafés

Set in the back of a delicatessen, crowd-favourite S.Forno supplies day-starting sweet treats, freshly baked bread and traditional pastries in a rustic, bakery setting. The photogenic affogato — creamy gelato neatly sculpted to reveal a diamond-shaped pool of espresso — at Vivoli has become a social-media hit, but this family-run gelateria has been catering to Florentine sweet tooths for almost a century.

Local bars

Vineria Sonora is a very good excuse to stroll 15 minutes towards the city’s east — glasses of juicy Sangiovese and funky orange wines are your flânant reward.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this design-bubble hotel in Tuscany and unpacked their photo-booth strips and bottles of Chianti, a full account of their polished city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside The Hoxton, Florence… 

Tuscany’s romantic capital was heavily rendered by the Renaissance, and it’s a style that The Hoxton, Florence knows well: its main building was built in the 16th century, bearing original, intricate frescoes. Once the residence of the affluent Ricasoli family (the inventors of Chianti wine, no less), it's now home to pistachio-and-pink bedrooms with scalloped headboards that resemble Santo Spirito church’s undulating roofline. 

There’s a second side to this Hoxton, too, with an Eighties wing equally worthy of veneration — or a raising a glass. Bold, graphic prints and motifs honour the era’s Milanese Memphis Group design movement, and its Ligurian-leaning restaurant is an all-palates pleaser and champion of Italy’s diversity. 

But this stylish stay is just as rooted in the now: with its cosy, contemporary wine bar, garden terrace and raft of city recommendations, this polished urbanite secures its status as a 21st-century Florentine favourite.
