With a vision to create places inspired by the principles of Italian creativity and inventive spirit, Lungarno Hotels have certainly achieved their aim in the form of the unique and intriguing Continentale. By reinterpreting the glamour of 'La Dolce Vita' 1950’s Italy they have created a vivacious and seductive hotel considered by many to be the crown jewel of designer Salvatore Ferragamo's small chain of hotels. Animated by a spirit that is both traditional and contemporary the Continentale remains distinguished by an inimitable style and captivating charm truly befitting its setting within the affluent ambience of Florence.
Throughout the hotel designer Michele Bonan has successfully blended a chic minimalist style of white painted walls and bubble gum pink accents that capture the essence of 1950's Italy. True to its unique design philosophy, the Continentale houses a chic collection of timeless rooms where the pure white of the sheer curtains surrounding the beds and the subtle tones of bleached oak convey a sense of harmony and understated elegance. From the luminous Singles Rooms overlooking the charming boutique lined Por Santa Maria to the spacious De Luxe Tower Rooms located in the Torre de Consorti offering panoramas of the peaceful river below, guests will quite literally find themselves enveloped in the tranquility of this contemporary masterpiece.
The Continentale impresses throughout, particularly the Sky Lounge atop the roof of the medieval Consorti Tower with its extraordinary views of the Arno River. Sip a cool cocktail and enjoy the perfect way to end an eventful day.
