Set on the river near the Ponte Vecchio, this upscale hotel in Florence, Italy, is just a short distance from the Giardino Di Boboli and the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum at the Palazzo Spini Feroni.

The 59 rooms and 14 suites in Hotel Lungarno are softened by the beautiful light and surrounded by the reflections of river Arno. The decor is inspired by the medieval quarters of Florence. For a truly unique stay, check out the Studio Suite Torre with its medieval atmosphere. From the original bricks, beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting loft, and canopy bed, this room is an authentic tribute to the historic beauty of Florence. All rooms feature original artwork, designer toiletries, and minibars. Some have river views, terraces, and marble bathrooms as well.

Hungry? You’ll have plenty of spots to choose from at the Hotel Lungarno. From Tuscan and Italian cuisine to Asian fusion, there’s something to please every palette. For the best view of Florence, the hotel recommends the “La Terrazza” Bar. In contrast, the Picteau bar in the hotel’s lounge is the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or a cocktail surrounded by original art by Picasso and Cocteau. The Hotel Lungarno presents itself as a private residence of a refined art collector, with over 400 pieces of the most delicate art of the 900’s.
