Hotel Lungarno, Florence

Borgo S. Jacopo, 14, 50125 Firenze FI, Italy (show on map)

Hotel Lungarno is an absolute gem in Florence, literally perched over the banks of the Arno River. Owned by the Ferragamo family, this elegant boutique hotel reflects the brand’s dedication to refined style. Its interiors, masterfully curated by renowned designer Michele Bönan, feature a sophisticated “nuova classicità” aesthetic, blending classic Italian architecture with a chic, nautical-inspired color palette of crisp whites and deep blues.

What truly sets this hotel apart is its identity as a living art gallery. It houses an impressive collection of over 400 original 20th-century artworks, including pieces by legends like Picasso and Cocteau. Guests can enjoy these masterpieces while relaxing in the Picteau Bistrot & Bar or while dining at the Michelin-starred *Borgo San Jacopo*, which offers stunning views of the river.

The location is a dream for culture seekers. You are just steps away from the iconic Ponte Vecchio, the world-famous Uffizi Gallery, and the majestic Duomo. If you cross the river, you’ll find the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum, which celebrates the life and creations of the legendary fashion designer.

Whether you are enjoying a sun-drenched breakfast on a private terrace or strolling through the historic medieval streets that surround the building, the hotel offers an intimate retreat. It feels less like a traditional hotel and more like a private, luxurious residence designed for those who appreciate the intersection of Renaissance history and modern, artistic flair.

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“You book this hotel for the location—it’s probably the best in the city—but you leave feeling like you’ve discovered a hidden gem, one where the typical Florence tourists aren’t as likely to be found and where you can escape the hectic life of the city.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List

Forbes review:

“Just steps from Florence’s famous Ponte Vecchio bridge sits Hotel Lungarno, the first of the Ferragamo family’s Lungarno Collection, a series of luxury hotels in Florence and Rome all with unique visions and identities. Hotel Lungarno is the most classic of the bunch, attracting honeymooners and Italians alike.”

Telegraph review:

“The Lungarno is the flagship hotel of Florentine fashion heir Leonardo Ferragamo’s Lungarno Collection and the most traditional of the group. It offers an unbeatable location just steps from the Ponte Vecchio, five-star service, magnificent river views, and gourmet dining.”

Great location, nice staff, room was not so great.

Ok, more fresh fruit and granola would be nice.

Room 579 is strange. Very dark and like being in a cave. The "loft" area wasn't really of much use. The bathroom door would not close. Overall the room felt like a dungeon.

Bliss! Perfect location and wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble.

The location and the view were amazing and the staff were exceptionally friendly. It was our birthdays and they arranged balloons and as requested a mini cake and bottle of Sancere our favourite wine. Everything from the deadheading of the flowers to the folding of the base of the curtains was meticulous. The rooms were serviced twice a day it was just divine.

Everything was so expensive, but it was 5 star so to be expected. It was disappointing that the roof top terrace was closed as we were looking forward to meals and evening drinks there.

Comfortable, tasteful. Amazing location and incredible breakfast .

This hotel is low key but fabulous

The only small minis are the tourists who enter the courtyard to have a view of the river. They congregate there and it’s a bummer.

Fantastic hotel, great food and friendly staff - thank you

Excellent food at the hotel. Staff very friendly and warm. The concierge helped organise our stay and things to do whilst in Florence, as well as fantastic restaurant recommendations. Hotel location is fantastic, some great views of Ponte Vecchio and walking distance to many of the cities attractions (it's a small city so can get to most places on foot).

Shower water temperature was slightly tricky, as well as water pressure being very low.

Highly recommend the hotel to all

Staff were extremely helpful in accordance with our needs and the advice given about what to do in Florence was perfect for us. The concierge were always in attendance

There should have been more bottled water in our room and bath salts available. Otherwise nothing to add

It was a fair stay with great location

The location and distance from the city center was amazing,

The breakfast menu was disappointing and the diner resturant has spectacular view but would benefit in improving the menu as well. The best meals were actually from surrounding restaurants

Authentic property in an ideal location with a magnificent staff!

Everything about the property is wonderful and spot on. The location, the building itself, the amenities and above all the staff!!!

The only issue we had was that our room for some odd reason on the 6th floor was still very noisy even after hours. We loved the room and the terrace but the noise level was unusual.

Overall a comfortable one night stay.

Excellent breakfast included with the room and location on the Arno is perfect for experiencing Florence.

Having the TV’s come on automatically when the door is opened is annoying, especially when you must raise one out of its cabinet just to turn it off.

Poor service lets this hotel down

The junior suite room was comfortable for a family

Service was disappointing - we were only there for 24 hours yet twice in our stay the key cards didn’t work, they were understaffed in the lounge so what we were told was a 5 min wait was a 60 minute wait to receive our drinks, and I would skip the breakfast at the hotel - we had to ask for plates, cutlery, water, all the basics - all of the extra faff which should be quite basic. Some hotels are accommodating and can be helpful especially when they can see we’re travelling with a toddler - this hotel is not kid friendly sadly.
