Tucked away on a hidden piazza off a busy street, the three-star Albergo Firenze offers contemporary hotel rooms in a central location. Recent upgrades have led to general price increases here, but there you can still find good deals throughout the year if you book early.

The modern 57 rooms offer comfort with a bit of style. Windows offer some impressive views, opening onto either the serene Piazza Donati or onto the Duomo and Campanile. All rooms have air conditioning and flat-screen televisions, and some have balconies (ask ahead). Bathrooms are clean, with boxed-in showers and tubs.

In addition to the spacious lobby, there is a cozy sitting room filled with comfy chairs, exposed stone walls and an Internet station (for free) near the elevators. Breakfast (included in the room rate) is served in the large red-and-gold breakfast room.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel for no extra charge.

Location: Very central

0.3km to city center

You can't miss Brunelleschi's magnificent dome atop the rosy marble Cathedral. It's the obvious central meeting point and tourist hub of the city. Here, you're in the vicinity of practically everything: the Uffizi Museums, Palazzo della Signoria, the San Lorenzo Market and the Accademia.

The streets surrounding the Duomo cater to visitors, with generic, all-day dining (for a price) and exclusive shopping. The big guns in Italian fashion are located along Via Tornabuoni (technically closer to Santa Maria Novella), with several others on Via Calzaiuoli, Via del Corso. Borgo Albizi, which starts behind the Duomo is more of a boutique street, featuring handmade, original designs in clothing and accessories.

Sleeping in a hotel near the Duomo makes practical sense, as this is the center of Florence, making it simple to pop back to your hotel room at a moment's notice. Fortunately, several of our favorite budget hotels in the city are located in this neighborhood—some are surprisingly affordable given their location. (Also see this blog post about out favorite hotels near the Duomo for under €100.)
