Lungarno Suite Hotel, Florence

Hotel Lungarno is along the left side of the river Arno, between Ponte Vecchio and Ponte S. Trinita in one of the most extraordinary locations in Florence. With 73 very pampering and luxurious rooms, including 13 suites of natural elegance, unpretentious Hotel Lungarno became part of the Small Luxury Hotels of theWorld in 1998, a network that represents the most characteristic and fascinating hotels of the world. The picture windows in the living room area frame what is considered the masterpiece view of the Ponte Vecchio and the "palazzi" that face the river, while the terraces become a theatrical stage under the stars from which to admire the spectacular panorama of the heart of Florence. Among the antique furnishings, the private collection of paintings from mostly 20th century Italian artists that are displayed in the living room areas and in the hotel rooms, there's an original Picasso above the fireplace.
