If you're going after the new year, check Hilton's January sale. I got Hilton Venice for some €150/nt in 2008 (inc tax and breakfast for 2) and Florence Metropole for €60/nt (same as above but breakfast for one) this year.

That said, Hilton Florence is quite a way out of town and not exactly near where bus lines serve. There is a shuttle bus but there are reports of people getting stranded by a full bus. The HGI is said to be better situated (near the university campus) for busses.

Venice Hilton is away from the main part of the city so you'll need to take the Hilton's water taxi (hourly) or take the local ferry boats.
