The Hoxton Florence

Set by Piazza della Libertà in a lively, less-touristed pocket north of the historic centre, The Hoxton, Florence occupies two contrasting buildings that nod to Renaissance Florence and a more postmodern edge. The hotel has 158 rooms plus a three-bedroom House, with interiors that play on the property’s layered history rather than leaning on generic Tuscan tropes. Food and drink are central: a coastal-leaning restaurant serves Mediterranean plates and familiar Italian classics around a broad, sunlit courtyard, while neighbourhood wine bar Enoteca Violetta focuses on bottles, small bites, and an easy late-evening rhythm; a lobby bar rounds out the all-day options. For downtime, there’s a large garden terrace, and for gatherings the hotel offers an underground event space, along with rooftop and courtyard venues suited to parties, private dining, and meetings. Practical links include a 20-minute walk to Santa Maria Novella station and a short bus ride from the front door.
