8.8(653)10/10 Terrific Hotel - Truly Wonderful People!
We were in Florence getting our daughter set up for a semester abroad and had the good fortune to stay at the Plaza Hotel Lucchesi. Unfortunately, about 6 hours into our trip, my wife stepped off a curb, hit the cobblestones and broke her ankle. In an ancient city, nothing is wheelchair friendly. The ENTIRE staff at the hotel - front desk, restaurant, housekeeping, bar staff, concierge and the gentlemen that would work the chair lift where absolutely amazing. The hotel was beautiful, clean and offered everything you could ask for...but all of that was eclipsed by the people. They were the most accommodating, helpful, compassionate and caring group I have ever experienced. They literally took care of everything we could need - a wheelchair, a mountain of pillows to prop up her leg, lovely tea service, delicious food, cabs, wheelchair friendly restaurants - simply everything making our terrible situation as enjoyable as possible. We cannot wait to return!!!

10/10 The feeling of home and pampering all in the same place.
Location and staff. The Hotel is within walking distant of all of the cultural and food establishments that make Florence such a special place to visit. Right across the street from the Aron River and across the river to Piazzale Michelangelo with a view of the beautifully lite Tower. At the same time you can look down the river to the Ponte Vecchio. The staff were wonderful friendly welcoming and accommodating.

10/10 Chilled city break
A fantastic hotel in a great location. Just returned from a stay at the plaza hotel lucchesi in Florence, we were a little disappointed that the roof bar was closed for maintenance but, having a room with a balcony made up for this. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a coffee or wine, even in the rain. Staff were very friendly and attentive, would thoroughly recommend this hotel and, if you can, gofor a room with a balcony.

10/10 Still a great choice after 25 years.
Celebrated our 25th anniversary of first stay earlier this month with our thirteenth visit. Still the finest of Florence in accommodations and friendly, caring staff. New chef in restaurant has upped the dinner offerings of local cuisine as well. Location is convenient to the best of shopping, museums, and restaurants…yet away from noisy crowds.

10/10 Exceptional stay
I cannot say how much we loved staying at this hotel. The food was exceptional, both the breakfast buffet selection and dinner in the hotel restaurant.
The staff, especially the breakfast staff, was a special part of our stay.
The location along the river and the view from the rooftop were also a very beautiful part of this visit.

10/10 Five-Star Service and I was not even a Guest. Very Grateful!
As one does walking in a new city after dark, I got turned around. With 2% phone battery, I walked into Plaza Hotel Lucchesi cold and a little worried. My concern disappeared with the sincere kindness I was extended by the lounge staff. Grazie mille!

This was our second stay at the hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed the location on the Arno river with beautiful views and the delicious breakfast. After much research on hotels in Florence this one checked all the boxes and we will stay here again.

8/10 Aesthetic hotel with great views
The room was facing the river, had a beautiful view. The place has a nice feel. The hidden little room with a single bed was a surprise. The location is so close to the bridge, shopping, restuarants. The staff were friendly and helpful, they let us leave our luggage for a couple of days after we checked out as we had to go to Pisa and come back to Florence. The terrace had a view of whole city.

The rooftop view over Florence was a highlight. The pool is small, but perfect for cooling off in the afternoon and didn’t feel over crowded which was nice. Short walk from main attractions and great restaurants/cafes.

Everything was perfect. The location along the Arno made it easy to reach everything. The staff was friendly and professional, and the room was clean and comfortable (with a view of Santa Croce and the Duomo). The rooftop bar had the best views I've ever experienced at a bar in Florence (and I've lived in Florence). Lastly, we were traveling with 2 small dogs and the hotel was friendly and accommodating to them.

9/10 I really enjoyed my stay and would stay there again!
We liked everything about this hotel. It is a 10 minute walk from the main part of the city-about 15 straight to the Ponte Vecchio. The room was large and very clean, and we had great views. Our only problem was that the heat did not work as well as it could have, but the hotel comped our breakfast to make up for it. The staff is efficient and courteous, and do everything they can to make guests feel comfortable and welcome.
