This year, Tuscany captured the wedding world’s attention like never before. With the prestigious engage!25 summit hosted in this timeless region, a wave of wedding professionals across the globe descended upon the Italian countryside. And while the hills of Tuscany were buzzing, no one could resist the allure of arriving early to soak in the beauty of Florence. We did just that—and one particular experience stole our hearts: a stay at the iconic Hotel Lungarno, a property owned by the legendary Ferragamo family.
Nestled along the Arno River, this five-star gem offers one of the most picturesque views of Florence. Waking up with the Ponte Vecchio outside your window is nothing short of magical. But it’s more than just a view—Hotel Lungarno is an immersive experience in Italian elegance and artistic heritage.
An Elegant Interior Design
Hotel Lungarno has been completely renewed and reopened its doors after six months of renovation, blending timeless Italian charm with contemporary sophistication. Today, the hotel boasts a curated art collection of over 450 works, including pieces by Picasso and Cocteau, displayed throughout guest rooms and public spaces. Even sipping a cocktail in the lounge feels elevated when you’re doing it next to a Picasso.
The interiors of Hotel Lungarno strike a flawless balance between refined luxury and Italian warmth, with artisan-crafted details, soft natural light, and thoughtful design throughout. Whether you’re lounging in your suite or wandering the art-lined corridors, every moment feels steeped in romance and creativity.
The Neighborhood Highlights
Just across the river, guests can explore the Ferragamo Museum, a tribute to the family’s remarkable legacy in fashion and craftsmanship. And when the sun sets, Florence’s finest boutiques and restaurants await, including the hotel’s own dining experiences—perfect for a chic date night or a celebratory dinner under the Tuscan sky.
A Place for Your Special Moments
Beyond being a luxurious retreat, Hotel Lungarno is also a dream venue for intimate occasions—be it a stylish elopement, a private family gathering, or a romantic wedding dinner. With several elegant spaces available, the hotel offers the perfect backdrop for every event. And if you wish to make your evening even more special, just steps away is Borgo San Jacopo, the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, where guests can experience world-class gastronomy right in the heart of Florence. Here, every bite tells a story, and every view feels like a painting brought to life.
Among the newest and most exclusive highlights is the Rooftop Terrace Suite, offering a breathtaking 360-degree view of Florence. From this vantage point, you can gaze across the cityscape—from Palazzo Pitti to the Santa Trinita Bridge—swimming in the golden reflections of the Arno and Ponte Vecchio. It’s far more than a terrace—it’s a front-row seat to Florence’s eternal beauty. A setting so romantic, it may just be the perfect place to say “I do.”
