Hotel Continentale

"The Continentale hotel is a Lungarno Collection hotel, which means it’s a Salvatore Ferragamo hotel — but this is a hotel that is determined to win you over on its own, without coasting on a reputation earned in the fashion world." - Mark Fedeli

"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."
