Hotel Rex is in San Concordio, the railway-side neighbourhood south of Lucca’s historic centre and immediately outside the old walls. Lucca railway station is 100 m from the hotel, and the centre is about 650 m away. This part of the city connects the station forecourt with the southern edge of the walled streets. Baluardo San Colombano is 150 m away, while Porta San Pietro, the historic southern gate, is 300 m away. The railway-side streets also put local eateries close to station arrivals and the route towards the central piazzas.

Rail travellers can walk from the station to Piazza Ricasoli, and the final stretch does not require a transfer from the train. Pisa International Airport is 17.5 km away, while Florence Airport is 55.1 km away. The hotel is also near the A11 motorway exits and the main roads into the Tuscan countryside and towards the coast. There is no parking at the hotel, so drivers should arrange a separate place for their car before setting out.

Lucca’s historic centre has landmarks for a day on foot: San Martino Cathedral (300 m), Teatro del Giglio (400 m), Guinigi Tower (600 m) and Piazza dell'Anfiteatro (850 m). Orto Botanico di Lucca is another nearby stop, with botanical collections and paths among the greenery. At the southern entrance, Porta San Pietro connects the station side to historic streets; the bastions and gates mark the transition from San Concordio into the old centre. Hotel staff can also offer recommendations for visits around Lucca.
