Hotel Lungarno, Florence, Italy

• Accessible rooms • City centre • Rooms & suites sleeping up to 4 guests

For over 50 years, the elegant Hotel Lungarno has been welcoming guests on the banks of the River Arno in the centre of Florence. As the flagship establishment of the exquisite Lungarno Collection of luxury hotels, charming apartments, villas, and world-class restaurants, the Ferragamo family’s values of quality, craftsmanship and elegance are reflected throughout the hotel.

The 65 luxurious rooms and suites of this 5 star hotel in Florence are decorated in refreshing tones of blue and white and classically furnished with antiques and works of art from the hotel’s extensive collection, elegantly complementing the historic setting. Many have beautiful riverside balconies or terraces and floor to ceiling windows with views of the Medieval city forming a stunning backdrop to your Florentine escape.

Our favourite suite, however, is the stunning rooftop terrace suite with its sweeping views over the city from where you can admire the views of Brunelleschi’s Dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Pitti and Santa Maria Novella as well as the Ponte Vecchio and Santa Trinita bridges. The suite sleeps four people is laid out over two floors with two king-size bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, a living room with a balcony overlooking Palazzo Pitti and the Florentine Oltrarno as well as the rooftop terrace itself.

Being within easy walking distance of the city’s most prestigious restaurants, renowned boutiques and stunning architectural masterpieces and art collections, not to mention the hotel’s own Michelin starred restaurant, could there be anywhere finer to immerse yourself in the beauty of the city of Florence and to soak up la dolce vita?
