The 152-room Hotel NH Firenze is an upscale Italian chain hotel located just outside the historic center of Florence. All guest rooms, which completed a renovation in 2014, are bright and contemporary, though common spaces feel dated. Eight on-site meeting rooms and the large NH Firenze Restaurant make this a good choice for business travelers, though many group tours and individual tourists pass through here as well. Hotel Garibaldi Blu offers a more chic vibe much closer to Florence’s main landmarks for about the same price (or slightly more), though it lacks a restaurant and fitness center.

Once an old convent, the three-pearl Hotel Villa Gabriele D'Annunzio is located about 20 minutes outside of the center of Florence in the quiet and green residential neighborhood of Coverciano. Its 82 simple rooms are classically decorated and outfitted with modern comforts like free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. The property features an outdoor pool as well as a small bar. Breakfast is included in the room rate, but there's no full restaurant. The location might not be suitable for tourists seeking to explore Florence on foot, but it's ideal for any traveler who prefers a dose of tranquility and doesn't mind the commute into the city center. For something comparable but centrally located, guests might want to consider the Hotel Orto De Medici or the Hotel Duomo Firenze instead.

The 101-room Hotel Palazzo Ricasoli is a budget hotel with a mix of classic hotel rooms and apartment-style accommodations. It's spread across two buildings -- one of which is a 16th-century Tuscan palazzo -- and there's a lovely pebbled courtyard in the center. Apartments have kitchenettes, but there's an extra fee to use them. Unfortunately, the decor is sparse and dated, which is a shame given the buildings' potential. Apartments at Rinascimento Palace on the Arno River have more character and fully equipped kitchens, for only a slightly higher price.

Within a five-minute drive of the airport, this upscale hotel isn't in walking distance to any of the main attractions in Florence and requires a 35-minute bus ride to reach the Duomo and San Lorenzo market. On the upside, there's free parking, free Wi-Fi, and a free breakfast with hot options in addition to the standard cold cuts, cheeses, and fruit. There’s no restaurant on-site, but there is a clubby bar. But given its remote location, it's best for guests with early-morning airport departures or business travelers. Others may want to consider more centrally properties, like the mid-range Botticelli Hotel.

Interiors, though, are dated, and noise can be an issue. A charming rooftop terrace has views across Florence, and the hotel serves a free breakfast and has a small bar. For more stylish rooms, guests should consider the similarly priced Rosso 23 on the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella.
