Set one foot outside of the three-star Hotel Maxim Axial, and you’ll join the tourist traffic flowing between the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria. The central location means a bit of chaos, but the hotel is pretty and calm inside. Plus, the staff is very friendly and the rates are reasonable for such a popular location.

The Maxim Axial’s rooms are mid-sized, and some have been renovated with decorative wallpaper and modern furnishings. The classic rooms are charming, with terracotta floors and blue and yellow accents. Unique touches like original artwork from the Maioli family’s own collection add warmth. The rooms come equipped with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, satellite TV and a mini-fridge.

Bathrooms are on the small side, with beige or green tiling and standard amenities such as a hairdryer and toiletries.

Continental breakfast is included. The Maxim Axial also has an adorable little bar/café with patio seating in the inner garden, perfect for mid-afternoon pick-me-up. The staff is incredibly helpful and insisted that we mention their breakfast specialty: iced cappuccinos!

Duomo

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.)
