Lungarno Hotel: an Italian treasure in the heart of Florence

Florence is a museum city. Every street, every building, every wall breathes centuries of art, politics, and history. Hotel Lungarno is your place of rest in this Italian diamond, the gateway to the city.

200 meters from the Ponte Vecchio, 300 meters from the Piazza della Signoria and immersed in the heart of Florence: this is Hotel Lungarno. The relaxing atmosphere guarantees a good resting environment for those who came to Florence to explore some of the city’s Renaissance history, or even for those who wanted to cross this tourism icon off their wish lists.

On the left bank of the Arno River, Hotel Lungarno belongs to the Ferragamo family and is the star attraction in the constellation of hotels of the Lungarno Collection. The space is the result of the restoration of a 16th-century residential building. Since 1995, the hotel has become one of the most sought-after destinations by international guests, with an exceptionally high return rate. After all, discovering and savoring Florence is something you should do several times, especially with a stay like this.

Hotel Lungarno extends beyond the limits of its walls, thanks to a series of activities arranged by the concierge, which include trips to the Ferragamo Museum, travels into the Tuscan countryside, shopping tours, bicycle rentals to explore the city, and even private boat outings on the stretch of the river that laps at the doors of the Lungarno.

Artistic celebration in every corridor

In a museum city, even the hotels breathe art, and Lungarno is no exception. Here you can find more than 450 pieces from the hotel’s private collection, celebrating 20th-century art at its most iconic mastery. Names like Picasso, Bueno, and Cocteau appear among many other Italian artists.

Other museum-worthy features are the Lungarno’s facilities. With 49 rooms, 14 Luxury suites, and two floors dedicated to executive groups—providing greater privacy and accommodation for corporate events—all spaces offer private balconies overlooking the Arno River and the beauty of beloved Florence.

The interior décor of all the rooms is inspired by nuova classicità, featuring ocean-blue carpets, 20th-century furnishings, and original artworks curated by the hotel to provide a deeper immersion into Italian art history.

The rooms feature private fireplaces, ensuring that even in winter the comfort is supreme, with that delightful warmth from the crackle that only wood in a fire can provide. There are also numerous details that enhance the stay experience, such as a desk for work or last-minute emergencies, a coffee maker and kettle for a hot drink in the room, a safe, and even the option of a hypoallergenic room for those more sensitive to environmental changes.

Local cuisine, as it should be

The Borgo San Jacopo Restaurant holds a Michelin star and draws the eye of every passerby, thanks to its unique, prime location on the banks of the Arno River. The city’s lights reflect upon the river while guests savor classic Italian dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant operates both à la carte and with signature tasting menus, each taking diners on a flavor journey.

Sommelier Salvatore Biscotti is in charge of curating the wine list, which features over 900 labels, both regional and international. The restaurant’s design itself deserves mention, drawing heavy inspiration from Italian history, celebrating the pride of descending from the great names of the country, and rooted in the “Made in Italy” movement.

Bistro and Bar Picteau

For those looking for a cosmopolitan setting, there is yet another space over the Arno River. Here the experience is strikingly akin to floating on the river, as guests enjoy one of the many signature cocktails and admire details of the hotel’s principal original artworks.

With artworks by Picasso, Cocteau, and Rosai adorning the walls, conversations can easily make you lose track of time while you enjoy champagne and wines until midnight.

The ideal hotel for all travelers

Florence greets visitors with open arms, revealing its beauty in every corner. Likewise, Hotel Lungarno does the same, providing access to myriad ways to experience the city. According to guests in a TripAdvisor survey, Lungarno is more than recommended for those who enjoy exploring the city on foot. The score? 100/100.

Staying here guarantees an unquestionably exceptional experience in Florence, with proximity to the main tourist attractions without compromising the comfort and tranquility you desire for restful nights. That is why we say this is the ideal hotel for anyone who wants to experience Florence at its finest.
