About the hotel
This hotel is devoted to the expression of art. Rooms are light and spacious, with large bright windows that frame the stunning views of the Ponte Vecchio and Florence’s medieval rooftops. Exhibitions of contemporary art and photography are held in the Lobby, Library and the Fusion Bar, making this one of the city’s hottest meeting points.
Gallery Hotel Art is part of the 'Lungarno Hotels', which comprises four luxury properties set along a picturesque stretch of the River Arno in Florence. 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.
