Continentale, Florence

Hotel Introduction
Overlooking the Ponte Vecchio is the lushly appointed Continentale, the latest hotel from the Ferragamo family. It offers everything today’s luxury traveller desires: contemporary design, impeccable service, and sophisticated surroundings. Its distinctive and fashionable décor has earned it a spot in the Design Hotels International network.

The Continentale’s 43 rooms and stunning penthouse highlight the glamour of the 1950s by incorporating light woods, oak floors, and sheer curtains. Even the beds integrate this alluring theme, with seductive drapes of gauzy fabric. Many of the rooms offer a terrace, which allows guests to take full advantage of the grand scenery right outside the hotel. Built on the banks of the River Arno and rising eight floors, the Continentale offers sweeping river views, as well as a stunning view of the famous Ponte Vecchio.

International hospitality is a main goal of the hotel, and it shows in the relationships forged between the thoughtful staff and the guests. Service providers at the Continentale can be counted on to recommend a lovely ristorante for dinner or a sightseeing agenda based upon individual tastes.

Dining
The Terrazza dei Consorti (Sky Lounge) lives up to its name, as guests can enjoy the beverage of their choice while taking in the sunset over the River Arno. It’s the ideal way to prepare for a culinary treat served up by one of Florence’s many low-key trattorias or five-star gourmet restaurants.

Spa
Revitalize your body and spirit at the Continentale’s impressive workout facility. After a spin on the high-tech exercise equipment, guests can pamper themselves in the sauna. It’s the perfect destination to relax after enjoying the sights of Florence or to get energized for another glorious day in Tuscany.
