member of design hotels TM. January 2003 marked the opening of the CONTINENTALE Contemporary pleasing hotel in Florence. It is the most modern and recent project of the Lungarno Hotels, the hotel management company owned by the Ferragamo family. With its architectural concept and style of service, the CONTINENTALE is destined to make a significant advancement in modern international hospitality. It aims to become the place where a new vision of the relationship with the guest is formed, based on the strong values contained in the word -pleasing-. The concept of the Hotel is based on the experience of those extraordinary years when cultured travellers could live the birth of Italian Style which was a mix of -joy of life- and intellectual adventure that spanned from cinema to design. The CONTINENTALE wants to restore these universal values and transfer them into our time with levity and wonder, with particular attention to the centrality of the individual and to the congenial gestures, that generate inner, as well as outer well-being. A property strategically and marvellously located overlooking the Ponte Vecchio and the Corridoio Vasariano, equipped with 43 rooms, a spectacular Penthouse and a large number of rooms with a terrace that overlooks the river or the Florentine roofs; the Sky Lounge -Terrazza dei Consorti- for total relaxation or for a cocktail, with a breathtaking view of the sunset over the River Arno, makes for an unforgettable -must-.
