Why Readers Choose Hotel Duomo Firenze

Good to Know Before You Arrive

• Getting here:Santa Maria Novella train station is about 700 m away, roughly a 10-minute walk.
• The building:our charming elevator, with its original 1930 cabin, takes up to 3 people to the 4th floor, where you’ll find the reception and the terrace. Rooms on the 3rd and 5th floors are 19 steps away. We think the climb is worth the view, and our staff is happy to help with luggage.
• Check-in and check-out:check-in from 2:00 pm, check-out by 11:00 am. Free luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, and a free late check-out until noon on request.
• City tax:€6 per person per night (maximum 7 nights), paid at the hotel. Children under 12 are exempt.
• Driving:the center is a limited traffic zone (ZTL). We recommend two partner garages about 150 m away: Garage Michelangelo (Via Ricasoli 28A) and Park2Go (Via Ricasoli 18), around €35 per 24 hours.

Our Tips for Your Florence Days

• Book the Dome climb ahead.Climbing Brunelleschi’s Dome requires a timed reservation, and slots go fast in busy months. Book as soon as your dates are set.
• Reserve the big museums.The Uffizi and the Accademia (home of Michelangelo’s David) are much easier with a booked entry time.
• See the square at both ends of the day.Piazza del Duomo is quiet early in the morning and beautiful at night. From the hotel, you’re always just an elevator ride away.
• Walk everywhere.The Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, the Accademia and the San Lorenzo market are all an easy walk from our door.
