Situated two steps from Florence's central train station, Hotel Santa Maria Novella sees her windows opening into its namesake piazza. The view offers exclusive glances of Santa Maria Novella Cathedral. This hotel is a marvellous painting embodying history, art and culture dating back to the Nineteenth Century with the name of Hotel National, a stop for businessmen and artists from all over the world. Transformed during the 40's, today it becomes Hotel Santa Maria Novella. The name changes but remaining is the class, style and warmth it has always possessed, the fundamental principles of our work.

Rooms
We do not like treating everyone in the same manner! You have understood correctly. Our rooms are all unique, unrepeatable, furnished with superior taste by someone who has wished to reserve exclusive surprises for every guest. Colours, furniture, decorations and atmospheres that are always different, which at every single visit will make you live a unique experience! A glance of admiration towards the sumptuous church of Santa Maria Novella and the thought of being in one of the most exclusive locations in Florence, in the presence of so much history and beauty.

Fantastic Hotel, Excellent Location

The hotel is a five minute walk from the Florence train station. The room was beautiful with a small balcony and a full breakfast was included. It is only walking distance from the Duomo and Ufizzi Gallery. The hotel also provides free internet access and wi-fi for your electronic devices. Very helpful staff with excellent hotel recommendations. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay and will stay there again.

Several good hotels in the area include L'Ostreria de Giovannis, Il Latini Restaurant, Academia at San Marco Square. For a fancier meal try Parione. The only one that was more than a 5 minute walk away from the hotel was Academia. All were fantastic.

Great Hotel

Classy sophisticated Hotel in a prime location. Very spacious room consisting of bedroom, separate closet, sitting area, bedroom and a very large marble bathroom. Access to courtyard from a door in our sitting room. Nice breakfast and helpful staff. Construction in adjacent piazza underway, but our room was on the other side of the hotel. Only drawback: Requested a few wine glasses in order to sample a fine wine I had purchased while touring the countryside and was told they could not comply unless it was a wine purchased through room service? I took a walk down to the bar and applied some grease and all was well. Odd for such a nice hotel at those prices. Overall, everything else was top notch and I would definitely stay there again.

Great little Hotel- terrific location

Beautiful room with 12ft ceilings. Beautiful old building on a nice piazza with a beautiful cathedral to look at. Front desk was very helpful. Lots of interesting guests. Great location to explore the city and get to the train quickly. I will stay here again.

The Perfect Hotel in Florence

This lovely hotel is on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, a wonderful location and a perfect home base for exploring Florence. The staff were wonderfully pleasant, attentive and helpful, giving a great restaurant recommendation, too. The room was attractive: bright, clean and airy, kept immaculate by staff, with a wonderful bathroom. Terrycloth slippers-- a nice touch! The bed was extremely comfortable with crisp, new linens. Breakfast was a feast-- a wonderful hot and cold buffets with everything you'd want, including table service for coffees or tea. We loved staying at this hotel and highly recommend it.

This is a real gem

I was travelling with my father to visit my nephew, his grandson who was studying a semester abroad. I wanted a hotel that would be comfortable for us both, nice, centrally located and I did not want to be in a "touristy" hotel. Perfect, beautifully appointed. We both had single rooms and I was pleasantly surprised as my room was quite spacious. His was a bit smaller but more than adequate. Very warm, friendly, and elegant.

Lovely Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Florence

The Santa Maria Novella Hotel is a lovely Hotel within walking distance to all the major historic sights of Florence, Italy. The hotel has lovely furnishings and is well maintained. The marble bathrooms are exceptional and appointed with indulgent amenities. Breakfast was served in a beautiful room and included eggs, cheese, meats, fruit, yogurt and cereal. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. All in all it was a lovely experience.

Excellent Service & Location

The Santa Maria Novella was a wonderful hotel and the staff was superb. I am currently a manager in the hotel industry and have come to expect a lot with the hotels that I visit. The staff at this hotel went above & beyond to make our visit perfect. The location was ideal as it was only a 10 minute walk to reach all of the tourist attractions and the train station was only a 5 minute walk away. The only thing I would change is for the hotel to put some signage on the exterior of the building. Other than that I would highly reccomend this hotel.
