Hotel Lungarno - LUXURY HOTEL IN FLORENCE
In central Florence on the banks of the River Arno
A beautifully renovated mansion beside the Arno River, Hotel Lungarno brings together classic Florentine features and sleek, contemporary design. Inside, this boutique hotel’s signature blue hues and nautical touches have been brought firmly up to date by renowned interior designer Michele Bonan. Echoing its waterside surrounds while transporting you back to the Renaissance in style.
Wake cocooned in refined linen and feathery pillows. Throw open your curtains and breathe in the sights of Florence, from the famous Ponte Vecchio to the cobbled streets steeped in medieval history. Start the day with an al fresco breakfast on a sun-drenched balcony. And after a day exploring this UNESCO city, head to The Picteau Lounge. Here, you can sip a La finestra sull’Arno coktail as the Arno lights up, surrounded by 20th century artistic masterpieces, part of the largest collection in Europe. Then it’s on to Borgo San Jacopo for an evening of Michelin-starred dining by Executive Chef Peter Brunel.
Hotel Lungarno sits at the core of this small yet perfectly formed city, so you don’t have to stray far to savour its best sights. Stroll from the jewellers shops lining Ponte Vecchio to the art treasures of the Uffizi gallery. Climb the steps of the Duomo for 360∘ city views. The blanket of terracotta roofs and graceful plazas, all circled by rolling Tuscan hills, is sure to leave you breathless.

Great Place to Stay
Stay date: September 2016
My Trip Type: Couple
Th!is hotel is in a perfect location to accessing Florence, within yards of the Ponte Vecchio! As a SLH member we were upgraded to a river view. Amazing! The front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating; they made restaurant recommendations and reservations for us. The breakfast was plentiful and staff always smiling and helpful. The room was lovely however the bathroom was quite small but with all modern amenities so no complaints. I would highly recommend this hotel because of location and staff, plus the view is one of a kind. If you are driving to Florence (no need for a car in Florence but just in case you are driving), there is a garage that is right next door to the hotel. Once the hotel is informed that you have a car, they notify the authorities so you aren't cited for driving in the Restricted Zone. The outside dining/bar area is very small but has a view on the river. Drinks are expensive but didn't mind when in Florence.
Top tip for other guests:
Definitely get a room with a view of the river.

Stay date: June 2016

Our home away from home in Florence. This hotel has an enviable location in the heart of Florence, located on the banks of the Arno. It is within walking distance to shops, sites and restaurants. Convenient parking is available next door. The staff at Hotel Lungarno are amazing. Friendly, helpful and professional, they are warm and make you feel special. The breakfast is extensive and delicious. Michelin starred restaurant is also on premises. Nice bar area overlooking the river where you can relax, have aperitifs or enjoy post dinner nightcap. The rooms are well appointed with excellent bedding and bath products. We look forward to our stays at the Hotel Lungarno.

Hotel Lungarno, Florence
Stay date: June 2016
My Trip Type: Couple
It was a lovely hotel in a perfect location. The hotel staff were more than accommodating. Our room had a balcony with a breathtaking view of the river and the bridge. The only negative was that the room was exceptionally small. I don't believe that they could upgrade us because they were full with a wedding. The hotel staff urged us to take a private tour of the Uffizi, which was well worth the money and time. The guide was an art historian and really outstanding. That made our short time in Florence memorable. Meryl Moss

Perfection in Every Respect
Stay date: October 2015
My Trip Type: Couple
We have stayed at the Hotel Lungarno many times and it never fails to disappoint. First, the location is unbeatable. Just a few steps from the Ponte Vecchio, all of the major sights in Florence are within walking distance. And, if you happen to be driving, there is a convenient private garage directly next door to the hotel. Second, the rooms are richly appointed with linen sheets and high end bath products..some rooms have amazing views of the bridge and city skyline; others may be located in the historic tower. All rooms have marble bathrooms and twice daily housekeeping service. Third, breakfast in the hotel is a wonderful way to start your day. In addition to the excellent breakfast buffet, made to order items are also available....all served in a bright breakfast room overlooking the Arno with views of the Ponte Vecchio and Santa Trinita Bridge. Last, but not least, is the service. The staff is multilingual and super friendly, from the reception desk, concierge, food and beverage servers, bellmen to housekeeping services. It's like seeing old friends every time we visit. This is a lovely hotel with fantastic people.

Stay date: September 2015
My Trip Type: Couple
This hotel is truly one the best and deserves to be part of SLH! Wonderful rooms, excellent, above average service and an amazing breakfast with so much variety (not the standard stuff) that you are never bored in the morning. In fact, if you stay at this hotel be sure to look out for Julie and Paulo!! They will make you feel so welcome. In fact, all the front desk staff, luggage helpers such as Fluvio, and many other members whose names we cannot remember (sadly), deserve a special thanks. We cannot wait to return. You will also find that the ever-so-patient staff in the dining room is also top notch. All in all, a wonderful stay at a wonderful, wonderful hotel! We would highly recommend!!

Understated elegance
Stay date: June 2015

Hotel Lungarno is a haven of charm and elegance in a city that can become frenetic with the throngs of tourists. The rooms and decor are smartly and warmly appointed and the views from our room were truly unforgettable with the golden light bathing the Ponte Vecchio morning and evening. The staff and service were A-1 first class and the breakfasts were sumptuous offering all the best in the local foods. We will return! Ci vediamo.
Top tip for other guests:
Reserve a room with a view of the Ponte Vecchio and with a balcony or terrace.

A truly delightful stay
Stay date: March 2015
My Trip Type: Couple
On arrival we were greeted very warmly and told we would be upgraded to a room overlooking the Arno river and Pontevecchio, which was lovely surprise. The hotel location is truly superb and the decor and facilities were terrific. It was unfortunate that the terrace was being rebuilt so the building work was quite a distraction. We chose not to dine in the restaurant as we felt the prices of the A la caret meny were far too expensive when there are so many wonderful restaurants in Florence to choose form

Best Concierges and Lovely Hotel!
Stay date: February 2015
My Trip Type: Single
This is a charming small hotel in an excellent location on the "other" side of the river. The concierges were extremely helpful in making all restaurant reservations as well as a reservation for the Uffizi Gallery so I did not have to wait on line. I had booked the least expensive room hoping for an upgrade but unfortunately the hotel was all booked up. Although my room was very nice and comfy (although small, but that was OK) I did face a wall. It would have been worth it to book a better room, but that is my fault. The ONLY complaint I had is that they charge 19E for a cosmopolitan as well as for other mixed drinks. That is CRAZY!
Top tip for other guests:
Get a room that faces the river! Don't order mixed drinks!

Great Location, not so great service
Stay date: August 2014
My Trip Type: Couple
Hotel Lungarno is in a great location, wonderful views from the patio/bar of the Ponte Vecchio and close to everything. Service though was not what was expected from an SLH property. Our biggest gripe is will the AC system in our room. On the first night we thought is was broken since we could not adjust it and were far too hot. On enquiry we discovered that the temperature was controlled by the hotel and we had to ask that it be reduced. Thereafter it was left on all day and far too cold when we entered! Not a great was to control costs, if indeed that is the aim. We also found the breakfast to be way overpriced and attention in the bar far too slow. At one point we sat in the lounge area using the hotel ipad and no-one asked if we wanted anything - if they had have done we would have ordered a drink for sure!

make sure you ask about the air conditioning on arrival!

We stayed at 3 slh on our trip to Italy and the Lungarno stood out for many reasons. It's spectacular location near the river Arno, the attentive service by all staff, and the restaurant J in the building. One of my favorite hotel experiences ever. Go for the deluxe rooms with the terrace overlooking the river.

We were pleased with our room overlooking the Arno with a small terrace. The concierge and staff were very accommodating. The location is ideal--on the other side of the Arno River, away from the madding crowd. The decor of the hotel and room was elegant and understated. The feel was just right--very comfortable and lovely. We will return.

Great location but with a few misses
Stay date: June 2014
My Trip Type: Couple
As always a great experience to stay here. However for the first time they did have a few misses e.g. The pre-ordered wine was not in the room on arrival (but the flowers were) and we waited 4 hours for our scooter which only arrived the next day. A bit more stringent follow up on these little things should have been done by the hotel.

Either get a room with a river view or go for the cheaper rooms in the old tower.

Stay date: March 2014

How could you want more in Florence? Our sixth floor room had a wonderful balcony overlooking the Arno. Ponte Vecchio to the right and the dome and tower of the Duomo right out in front. Easy walking to all the sights of Florence ... don't miss the Abbazia di San Miniato al Monte which is a twenty minute walk up the hill from the hotel and is not only the most beautiful Romanesque church but has panoramic views over the city. What we loved about the hotel was its understatement. Nothing glitzy or glam about it but just quiet opulence, so comfortable with Jean Cocteau crayons and other original works of art. Great Negronis and staff that remembered your room number after one meeting. The Ferragamo family have created an oasis of calm to come back to after your day's walking around the city. And ... go to Camillo Trattoria just down the street for wonderful Flrorentine food and Castorina for handcrafted wood puttis and gilded pieces. Charlie Morgan

A very warm welcome, just across the Ponte Vecchio bridge - perfect, convenient for everything in Florence and very comfortable.

We had a lovely 6 night stay at the Hotel Lungarno. The location is perfect - just outside the tourist areas but only a few minutes walk to everything. We also found that being on the other side of the Arno was excellent in the evening for eating and drinking at local places. The front desk and bar staff were all wonderful and really made you feel very welcome. They were also very helpful with making reservations for dinner or the galleries. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a room on the 7th floor with a magnificent view of the Duomo,. The rooms were well appointed and quite comfortable with a nice big bathroom. And I was pleased that they didn't have the heating turned up too high (which most European hotels seem to do in the winter). The only two minor areas for improvement would be better wifi in the rooms (as on a couple of occasions it just dropped out) and on a couple of days the housekeeping service missed a couple of things (not replacing empty items in the bathroom / used wine glasses). Overall, however, I would happily stay here again and would certainly recommend the Hotel to anyone travelling to Florence.

A very friendly hotel in the city centre of Florence overlooking the river Arno. The deluxe room that we had was located on the third floor and had views of the river. The room was good as a deluxe but could do with some modernisation very soon. The room was also not very well sound proofed with the adjoining room, particularly the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent offering a plentiful range of bread, jam, cooked foods etc. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

The hotel is elegant, classy and clean. The people are very helpful and their food is great. The location was just in the middle of everywhere. But we arrived late at night and we asked the security to call the luggage man to help us but no one came to the taxi so we had to carry it ourselves.

Stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is in an excellent position for seeing the sights of Florence . The hotel staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was very comfortable though the bathroom was a little dated. Breakfast was very good with the restaurant overlooking the river.
Top tip for other guests:
Get a 'Florence Card' for 72 Euro's - this 72 hour pass gets you into all the major museums. Have lunch at i Toscani which is 5 min (turn right to end of road then left) from the hotel

The service at the Hotel Lungarno was excellent. Every person from the front desk to the service staff were very friendly and helpful. The front desk personal made great recommendations for restaurants, shops and things to do and see. They made you feel like you were a valued guest each and every time you talked with they! Keep up the great work!

The service was excellent, friendly and professional and very accommodating . The room was well appointed and spacious enough for both my wife and myself to enjoy. I especially enjoyed the public space which felt like I was sitting in my own living room. Will be my home away from on mynfuturevstays in Firnenze

Loved this Hotel !
Stay date: April 2013
My Trip Type: Couple
We loved this hotel. It's in the perfect location....close enough to walk to any of the key Florence sites. We booked a Deluxe Arno River view room, and were upgraded to a larger river view room with two french balconies overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. The service was outstanding and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. We particularly liked Daniel and Samuel who ensured our cocktails were made perfectly...and served with a smile.
Top tip for other guests:
Go for the river view ...it's worth it !

Boutique Hotel in a great location
Stay date: April 2013

The Lungarno is situated in an excellent position to visit all parts of the main city of Florence. On arrival you immediately feel you have arrived in an upmarket home, very warm and welcoming . The lounge/bar area is relaxing and elegant, great cocktails with a special view of the Ponte Vecchio. We had a classic room, large and comfortable. The street noise would not suit all clients but we were out and about so often it didnt matter. I did see a room facing onto the Arno and again the view was special, but we were more than happy with our classic room. I will definitely stay here again.
Top tip for other guests:
Classic Room is great for size but check out all the options on the net. if a view is important, email the hotel to be specific on your requests.
