We roll out the welcome mat for paws and pets. Whether your pup’s a city explorer or a sofa snoozer, they’ll be right at home at The Hoxton Florence. No extra fees, no awkward rules – just cosy stays, walk-friendly neighbourhoods, and a few cheeky treats for your four-legged travel buddy.
We accept one dog per room, up to 40 lb in weight for no extra fee (unless they’re a rockstar and trash the room, of course). Sniff out all the deets for our pet-friendly rooms below.
Our Dog-Friendly Hotel in Florence, Italy
Our Hotel
Our hotel near the beautiful Piazza della Libertà is the perfect spot for you and your pup to unwind. Set across two stunning buildings blending Renaissance charm with Postmodern flair, we offer a breezy coastal-inspired restaurant, a buzzing wine bar, a spacious garden terrace for alfresco lounging, and even a unique underground event space. Plenty of places for you both to sniff around and settle in.
Our Rooms
Our Florence hotel brings together two distinct spaces — a grand 16th-century former residence of the Ricasoli family (yes, the Chianti wine pioneers), and a sleek, minimalist 1980s building by renowned architect Andrea Branzi. Whether you're tucked into history or surrounded by bold modern design, your dog-friendly room offers comfort, character, and plenty of space for you and your pup to feel at home.

Planning your pet-friendly route in Florence
Travelling with your dog in Florence? No problem — here’s how to get around the city, stress-free and sniff-friendly:
