Hotel Indigo Florence by IHG

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Indigo Florence? It doesn’t try to be some stuffy, traditional Italian hotel – and honestly, that’s exactly what I loved about it. Walking up Via Jacopo da Diacceto (which, by the way, is this quiet little street that most tourists completely miss), you’d almost walk right past the entrance if you weren’t looking for it. But once you’re inside, there’s this really cool contemporary vibe that somehow still feels authentically Florentine. The lobby has these gorgeous local art pieces and this almost industrial-chic design that works way better than it sounds on paper.

The location is actually brilliant if you know Florence at all. You’re literally a three-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station – I mean, you can practically hear the trains, but it’s not annoying or anything. What’s really great is that you’re right in the thick of things without being on one of those crazy tourist-packed streets where you can’t even walk properly. Via de’ Tornabuoni, which is basically Florence’s Fifth Avenue, is maybe a five-minute stroll away, and the Duomo is close enough that you’ll probably end up walking past it multiple times just going about your day. The staff actually gave me this little insider tip about cutting through Piazza Santa Maria Novella early in the morning – it’s gorgeous when it’s empty and you avoid all the crowds heading to the main sites.

What really sets this place apart though is the attention to detail that doesn’t feel forced. The rooms have these deep jewel tones and textures that feel sophisticated but not pretentious, and the beds are honestly some of the most comfortable I’ve slept in (and I’m pretty picky about that stuff). The bathrooms are surprisingly spacious for a European hotel, with rainfall showers that actually have decent water pressure. I stayed during peak season in July, and while the area gets busy during the day, the hotel itself maintains this calm, almost zen-like atmosphere. The rooftop terrace – and this is where they really got it right – has these incredible views over the city’s terracotta rooftops, and it’s the perfect spot for an evening drink after a day of museum-hopping. The cocktails aren’t cheap, but they’re well-made and you’re paying for that view anyway. Check-in was smooth, parking is available in a garage about two blocks away (which is actually pretty convenient for the center of Florence), and the concierge team genuinely knows their stuff about local restaurants and lesser-known spots. With an 8.7 rating, it’s clearly doing something right, and after staying there, I totally get why people keep coming back.

Reviews

• amazing – Erbil from Turkey – 13 July 2025 (10/10)

  It was 3-4 min walk to the firenze train station. And also it is very close to the all historical place with walk. It was very clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. The breakfest was very good and enough. The room was very clean and comfortable.

• Great, modern hotel near the train station! – T from United States – 28 June 2025 (9/10)

  Very modern and clean—very familiar layout for Americans used to the chain hotels in the USA. Great balconies! Amazing buffet breakfast (paid).
  
  What could be improved: The rooms are slightly cramped for the single bed. Enough space to squeeze around the bed to get to the bathroom—but not much more.

• Repeat Visit – Joe from United Kingdom – 26 June 2025 (9/10)

  Hotel is in a great location – short walk from the tram stop and railway station. Also nice walking distance to attractions and restaurants. Breakfast is excellent.

  Small but brilliant

• Location near train station. Excellent hotel and a warm welcome. – April from United Kingdom – 29 April 2025 (9/10)

  Hotel was easy to find a short walk from the train station. The rooms were well appointed and everything we needed. The reception staff were incredibly nice and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: We took a lot of taxi’s because it was a little far for me to walk to the centre of Florence. But I don’t think it would bother most people.
