The Style Florence is a modern upper-middle-range property with 43 rooms and a central location across from the main train station, Santa Maria Novella. There are regular hotel rooms and Studios with kitchenettes available, though they can be rented together or separately. Keep in mind that most Studios have sofa beds instead of regular beds. When combined with a traditional hotel room, they can work well for families or groups traveling together. The hotel is a five- to 10-minute walk of most monuments, museums, and major shopping. Breakfast is included in the room rate, and the hotel has a bar and lounge. Travelers looking for more classic Florentine style at similar rates could check out the Palazzo Ruspoli, but its least-expensive rooms share bathrooms and are not air-conditioned.

Scene
Bright, modern hotel with minimalist design
The Style Florence is part of the local chain that also owns the adjacent Ambasciatori and the nearby Club Florence hotels. The Style Florence, like the other properties, is modern and stylish, starting with the minimalist front desk and unadorned stone wall and bench in the reception area. The lobby is one flight up, near the meeting rooms. While a row of black-leather armchairs invites guests to linger, the space is a bit stark, save for a large Florentine painting hanging on the white wall. The hotel's central location draws tourists -- mainly couples -- as well as business travelers, but families check in here too, likely drawn by the possibility of joining rooms to create larger, self-catering apartments.
Location
Across from the train station, a 10-minute walk to the Duomo
The Style Florence is centrally located across from Florence's main train station, Santa Maria Novella. The Sita bus terminal is also close by, which serves many destinations in Tuscany. The immediate area is congested and busy, but that's a given in central Florence. The must-see Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore) is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and the Galleria dell'Accademia, which houses Michelangelo's "David" and other notable sculptures, is a 15-minute walk. The Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery are also about a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Florence Airport -- Amerigo Vespucci -- is about a 20-minute drive or train ride away, and Pisa International Airport is about a 70-minute drive.
Rooms
Studios with kitchenettes and traditional rooms -- all with colorful, contemporary style
Depending on what guests are looking for, there are an array of options available at this hotel, ranging from traditional rooms to individual Studio apartments, to suites that combine the two to create larger living spaces. The style is modern -- a refreshing change from some competing hotels in this category, which favor dated and bland decor -- with bold pops of red and orange splashed against primarily neutral backdrops.
Black-and-white photos hang on striped cream-colored walls, and red accent walls add
pizzazz. Some rooms might be a tad bright for some guests, but Executive Rooms stick to
neutral palettes of gray, black, and white. Keep in mind that some Studios have sofa beds rather than proper beds, so check ahead, while the traditional rooms and suites will include a normal bed. Studios also come with kitchenettes with burners and microwaves hidden behind folding doors. Panoramic Suites, on the fourth floor, have
furnished balconies with views of adjacent rooftops and the city. Soundproofing keeps the street noise out, but thin walls may an issue with interior noise. All rooms include air-conditioning, tea- or coffee-making facilities, minibars, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and safes. Tiled bathrooms, with their trendy fixtures, are modern, with stand-in showers, bidets, towel warmers,
hairdryers, and toiletries.
Features
Breakfast buffet included in rates, on-site bar, meeting rooms, and event space
A daily breakfast buffet, included in the room rate, is served at the hotel's sister property, the Ambasciatori, which can be reached via an internal passage. The breakfast room is trendy and hip, with a bamboo wall, stone and rock flooring, and fuchsia accents. Succulents and other plants add to the natural setting. Options include hot and cold dishes like pastries, meats, cheese, and breads, plus eggs. The lounge bar is a sophisticated, laid-back space with plush sofas and armchairs -- an antipasti spread is served in the lounge and guests do receive vouchers for it. The convention center includes five meeting rooms, all with natural light, which can accommodate up to 200 people, with audiovisual equipment provided. The front desk is staffed around the clock and can provide tour and booking assistance. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
