"This hotel’s couldn’t-be-better location in the heart of Florence—in fact, at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio on the North side—means that its rooftop bar has incomparable 360-degree views of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, the Florentine hills, and the Ponte Vecchio. The 43-room Continentale is luminous, with a chic contemporary look made comfy by cushioned white sofas and gossamer white drapes flowing from luxurious four-posters piled high with pillows. Guest rooms have freestanding full-length lacquered mirrors and raw-oak floors; bathrooms have square white-stone sinks and walk-in showers with thunderous water pressure."
