Hotel Lungarno – Florence, Italy
Last year, in celebration of 2017 being half a century since it first opened, Hotel Lungarno was completely renewed during a six-month renovation. Without sacrificing any of its original charm, the blue, white and leather details found in its lobby reflect the style of an elegant boat swaying on the Arno with the Ponte Vecchio as its backdrop. Being ideally located within walking distance of the city’s most renowned boutiques, the hotel enables its guests to experience the true magic of Florence.
The atmosphere of the stylish Picteau Lounge suspended over the river is enhanced by original art from Picasso and Cocteau. Following drinks served in this most relaxing of scenarios, Borgo San Jacopo Restaurant awaits with its world class Tuscan and Italian menu, created by the hotel’s Michelin-starred chef, Peter Brunel.
Hotel Lungaro offers 68 highly luxurious rooms and suites with spectacular city views, many of which include beautiful terraces overlooking Renaissance masterpieces. The recently improved hotel art collection is offered to guests via a variety of themed itineraries and many of the suites are themed and dedicated to the work of a renowned artist, such as the Venna or Francesconi Suites.
