Tucked in Santa Maria Novella, Palazzo Lorenzo Hotel Boutique & Spa has quietly become one of the more interesting four-star options in Florence. The reasonable location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, within an easy walk of the city centre, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and a small spa as the small things that add up over a stay. The team running the place comes across as attentive without being overbearing, and that's a meaningful slice of the overall experience. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 540 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €181 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. All told, Palazzo Lorenzo Hotel Boutique & Spa reads as one of those Florence addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
