Arno riverfront quarters
A classic riverfront base where daily life centres around Arno views and an open-air fourth-floor roof terrace.
What it’s good at
Notable
A riverfront palazzo operating since 1890, where Picasso and Romain Rolland once stayed.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Ponte Vecchio and the boutiques of Via de' Tornabuoni are both within a few minutes on foot.
The rooms
Front-facing rooms look directly onto the Arno and Ponte Vecchio, while others overlook the medieval Church of the Holy Apostles.
American Bar
The lobby-level bar mixes cocktails and pours Italian wine across a classic counter with checkerboard marble floors.
At the table
A hot and cold morning buffet brings Tuscan specialties to damask-draped tables in the breakfast room.
How it began
The 1890 palazzo survived the wartime bombings along the riverfront, preserving its original stained-glass skylights in the lobby.
