Why It Matters
The building itself is the story. A 16th-century Ricasoli family palazzo converted into a Hoxton hotel — with an entirely different 1980s postmodern wing attached. Florence has plenty of grand hotels, but this one swings between two architectural eras under one roof. The courtyard terrace, lined with olive and lemon trees around a three-tiered fountain, is genuinely one of the best outdoor dining spots in the city.
The Hoxton, Florence occupies two very different buildings side by side: a palatial 16th-century palazzo once owned by the Ricasoli family (yes, the Chianti wine family) and a clean-lined postmodern building from the 1980s. That contrast is the whole point. Renaissance frescoes and lime-washed walls on one side, linear Memphis design movement motifs on the other. It's a 10-minute walk to the Duomo, sitting just off Piazza della Libertà, with a big garden courtyard, a coastal Italian restaurant called Alassio, and Enoteca Violetta wine bar on-site.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Biggy
27–31 sqm with a superking bed and a proper curated seating area — velvet sofa, coffee table, locally sourced artwork on the walls. Good natural light. The name is slightly aspirational for the size, but the layout is genuinely well done.
Super King · 27 sqm
Cosy
The workhorse room: small-ish but genuinely indulgent. King bed, walk-in shower, and design detailing that nods to wherever you land — Renaissance wing or postmodern wing. Sizes range 17–28 sqm depending on the building and floor.
King · 17 sqm
Cosy Terrace
Same as the Cosy but with a private outdoor terrace — 31 to 51 sqm total. King bed, open wardrobe, walk-in shower. Good for an evening glass of wine outside without leaving the room.
King · 31 sqmHouse
The whole deal. 145 sqm in the hotel's courtyard — three en-suite bedrooms, a full kitchen (marble island, barstools), dining area, proper living room, and an outdoor terrace with a table set for 8. Sleeps 6 adults. The kind of setup that makes splitting the cost with friends actually make sense in Florence.
Super King · 145 sqmRoomy
Steps up with a superking bed, open wardrobe, and a reading nook with two armchairs. Sizes go from 20–26 sqm. More space to breathe than the Cosy, without paying for a terrace you won't always use.
Super King · 20 sqmRoomy Terrace
The Roomy gets an outdoor terrace — 27 to 55 sqm total. Super king bed, walk-in shower, good for longer stays or anyone who wants to eat breakfast outside without going to the restaurant.
Super King · 27 sqmSnug
The smallest room in the house — solo travelers and light packers, this is yours. Queen bed, walk-in rainfall shower, all the standard Hox kit. Compact and honest about it.
Queen · 16 sqmStudio
32–45 sqm with apartment-style flexibility — superking bed plus a living area for reading, working, or chilling. Some Studios are duplex, with a spiral staircase. Three adults can stay comfortably. All dog-friendly.
