Hotel Firenze is a well-liked four-star hotel on Corso Porta Nuova, the street that links Verona’s railway station with Piazza Bra and the Arena. It is a practical place that guests rate highly, and it is especially convenient for rail travellers, with Verona Porta Nuova station about nine minutes away on foot. Piazza Bra is about ten minutes on foot, the Arena about thirteen and Piazza delle Erbe and Juliet’s House about eighteen, so every major sight is walkable. The hotel has a bar, a daily buffet breakfast, an elevator and a 24-hour front desk, plus a range of rooms from basic doubles to family rooms, a junior suite in a separate building and apartments. It is a smart choice for visitors who want a comfortable four-star with a good location at a mid-range price, and it is less formal than the historic palazzo hotels.
