Hotels

With just a few business travelers and a handful of tourists staying the night, Pistoia doesn't have a particularly scintillating crop of hotels. An additional choice to the ones below is the recently renovated Hotel Leon Bianco, Via Panciatichi 2 (tel. 0573-26-675 or 0573-26-676; fax 0573-26-704; www.hotelleonbianco.it), a block from the Patria and very comparable, only with thicker quilts, smaller rooms, and newer bathrooms. Doubles cost roughly the same (75€-100€/$98-$130), but breakfast is free (except in highest season, when it's 8€/$10), if you flash this Frommer's guide. All hotels listed provide a permit to park free on the surrounding streets.
