About Hotel Lungarno - Lungarno Hotels Group

Inspired by ‘nuova classicita’, the interior design of Hotel Lungarno blends ivory fabrics with sea-blue carpets and an impressive selection of antiques and 20th century paintings (including a Picasso). This refined and understated elegance pervades throughout the 73 luxurious rooms and suites. The glass windows in the living room frame the Ponte Vecchio bridge – as if it were an artwork itself.

Hotel Lungarno is part of the 'Lungarno Hotels', which comprises four luxury properties set along a picturesque stretch of the River Arno in Florence - Hotel Continentale, Lungarno Suites and Gallery Hotel Art. Part of the Salvatore Ferragamo Group, 'Lungarno Hotels' is a logical extension of the luxury brand that has influenced Italian fashion for nearly 80 years.
The four properties are within walking distance of each other, and you immediately feel as if you are a guest of all of them. Their central location, with breathtaking views of the spectacular Ponte Vecchio bridge, mean that you are just moments away from the city’s major attractions, including the Vasarian Corridor, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Piazza della Signoria.

Luxury Hotel Facilities

With Florence's rich history and high concentration of art and touristic attractions, the 'Lungarno Hotels' properties are not like other luxury resorts that are able to offer many activities on-site. Yet they do make up for this lack of on-site facilities by offering many activities in and around Florence. These include:

• Advanced booking service for the main Florentine museums
• Transfers to the outlets of the main Italian and foreign fashion brands
• Private guided tours of the Salvatore Ferragamo shoe museum
• Wine tasting excursions
• Cooking lessons
• Fitness centre at Continentale can be used by guests of each of the Lungarno Hotels
• Shopping card that gives guests a discount or small gift in 30 selected shops in Florence
• Private shopping consultants available
• Daily excursions to Siena and San Gimignano
• Golf courses nearby 

Room Options

Hotel Lungarno sports 73 rooms, divided into 5 types: Junior Suites, Executive, De Luxe, Superior and Classic. Each offer varying degrees of comfort and luxury.

• The Junior Suites all have a distinctive feel - from the romantic views of the river to the luxury of having your own two floors. The suites are all spacious enough to accomodate up to 3 people while giving each resident ample private space. Junior Suites rooms come with double, two queen or twin beds.
• The Executive rooms have been designed and furnished with wellbeing and pleasure in mind. All feature amazing balconies that are outdoor living rooms in their own rights, with breathtaking views of the city and at night the stars above, making these rooms great for social occasions or relaxing with a loved one. Executive rooms come with double or two queen beds.
• De Luxe rooms are situated on the upper floors of the property - allowing for truly unique panoramic views of Florence, its timeless cityscape and the enchanting river Arno. Amongst the De Luxe rooms is one without views of the river but located inside the medieval tower with bare stone walls, a canopied double bed and exuding the atmosphere of a time gone past coupled with the comforts of modern life. De Luxe rooms come with double beds.
• Many of the Superior rooms boast views of the river, Ponte Vecchio and Florence combined with spacious living areas and balconies, terraces or floor to ceiling sliding windows, on request. Superior rooms come with double or twin beds.
• The Classic rooms are the hotel's distinctive accomodation, with walls painted in warm yellow tones and views of Florence's ancient streets and rooftops. Classic rooms come with double or twin beds.
