Portrait Firenze Hotel, Florence

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Michele Bönan, a Florentine architect, used midcentury furnishings and original photographs from the Ferragamo archives to create gorgeous 1950s-era interiors. The result is 34 rooms and suites worthy of interior design awards, and a lobby that feels like a sophisticate’s living room.”

Travel+Leisure review:

“The Michele Bönan–designed interiors of this boutique hotel, which sits steps from the iconic Ponte Vecchio, might be the most strikingly modern in Florence. Book one of the Arno-facing suites with balconies to enjoy some of the best views in the city.”

Featured in Travel+Leisure’s Top 100 Hotels in the World.

Telegraph review:

“An exceptional hotel with a centralissima location and a discreetly luxurious atmosphere, Portrait Firenze’s sleek and sophisticated design will appeal to style hounds, but the space in the suites and the in-room kitchens make it an attractive choice for families too.”

Exceptional hotel both in elegance, service and location- truly 5 stars

This property is truly excellent and truly 5 stars. The room was not just elegant but also very spacious and well built with useful closets, two big bathrooms and plenty of plugs as necessary for modern travellers. The welcome details were exceptional - the staff left small gifts for our 3 kids which were truly appreciated and well received. The room had a kitchenette with microwave which is very useful when travelling with babies and toddlers. The staff was kind and helpful.

We thought that the bar and restaurant had closing hours which could be revised and rethinked. The (excellent) breakfast buffet closes at 10.30 which is too early when on holiday, and at night the bar closes at 11.30pm which is also too early when looking for an after dinner drink.

This hotel is a real 5 stars!

This hotel is a real 5 stars! Firstly, the hotel is located right on the embankment of the Arno River in the very center of the city: close to the famous bridges and the street with Prada, Celine and other boutiques. This hotel is much better in comfort, breakfast and location than Four Seasons Firenze. Four Seasons has the advantage of having its own park, a large spa and a large lobby. Rooms and breakfast in Portrait Firenze hotel are much better. You will have to pay a thousand Euros for standard room at Four Seasons Firenze, and a good room of 40 square meters in Lungarno Collection will cost less - 650 Euros. I will stay in this hotel again with great pleasure.

I would return this hotel to its former name - the Grand Hotel Arno.

Elegant and royal hotel! Walking distance to the shopping areas and most important plazas.

The hotel is very elegant. The location is one of the best in Florence, within walking distance of the best shopping area and the most popular plazas. They Upgraded my room to a suite, it was very elegant and very royal. The breakfast was delicious and everyone has to try the nutella pie in the breakfast buffet. A special thanks to Adele she was amazing, Francisco, and Matteo. They were very helpful and polite.

Nothing, it is a bit expensive but very worth it.

We have stayed at the Portrait Firenze twice now, and will definitely return!

The view of the Ponte Vecchio and the Lungarno River are amazing. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. They helped us arrange an entire week's itinerary of guided tours and excursions in the surrounding area upon arrival. They also planned and made reservations for us for dinner every evening.

These were only minor inconveniences which did not detract from our enjoyment of our stay as a whole, but one of the restaurants they booked for us was not as positive an experience as all the others, and the hotel bathroom was quite dark and warm (not air conditioned.)

Our stay at Portrait Firenze was absolutely perfect. The staff was warm and friendly, with lovely beverages and treats for our kids on our arrival. The room was pristine, with the most incredible views. The beds could not have been more comfortable and we all slept soundly.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel with professional staff.

We enjoyed the involvement of all staff in every part of our stay. From making reservations in selected and suggested restaurants, to informing about inconveniences (e.g. a taxi strike) to suggestions for visits to interesting places in Florence (including the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum). Breakfasts exactly as expected in Italy! Great coffee, smiling staff, helpful and professional. We would like to thank Mrs. Ewa for her competence, experience and high personal culture. Thank you to the entire team.

Location perfect! Staff polite and helpful. Breakfast bad organisation, very poor continental breakfast, always something missing,on Saturdays too many people to serve very few waiters to look after you. Having paid so much money for accommodation, should I pay for an omelette. What a pity.!
