 Gallery Hotel Art 

An elegantly cultured bolthole 

Modern design boutique hotel just steps from the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery.

This small and intimate hotel is tucked away in a peaceful courtyard near the River Arno but it’s just seconds from the Ponte Vecchio and close to all of the city’s main attractions. Owned by the Ferragamo family, this chic hotel is part of the Lungarno Collection of luxury hotels and it blends classic Italian design with minimalist Asian style. Blurring the lines between hotel and gallery, the public areas, including the lobby and the lounge-library, serve as exhibition spaces for contemporary art and photography by artists such as David Lachapelle, Steven Klein and Andy Warhol.

Why we love Gallery Hotel Art

  • It’s in a fantastic location for easy city exploration, tucked away in a quiet courtyard but moments from the Ponte Vecchio 

  • The hotel’s chic Fusion Bar & Restaurant is a local hotspot thanks to its inventive Japanese-Peruvian dishes and bespoke cocktails

  • As you’d expect from the name, the hotel hosts great temporary exhibitions – and the rooms are a work of art in themselves

  • Guests can use the facilities at the neighbouring sister hotel, the Continentale, which include a serene spa and a rooftop terrace

Love the hotel. Everyone from the valets to the front desk to those in the rooftop bar were so pleasant, attentive and really cared about making us happy. The room was very comfortable and we appreciated being able to open the windows and have fresh air. We would definitely stay here again!

Our experience was amazing from start to finish. It was my birthday when we arrived and the hotel upgraded us to their penthouse suite with a private balcony overlooking the city. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for us on ice as well. Their rooftop bar was terrific. The staff was always courteous, helpful and very friendly. The prices were very good. The location was also amazing - right next to the Ufficio museums and a 5 min walk to Santo Spirito neighborhood. Everything was walkable. We loved the hotel and the people. We will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay and could not find fault with any aspect of the hotel which has if anything improved since our last holiday there. The staff throughout the hotel, at every level (reception, porters, chambermaids etc) ,are friendly, efficient and did everything that they could to make our time in Florence memorable. The relatively new addition of the rooftop bar adds considerably to the experience and should not be missed.We are looking forward already to returning in the autumn.
