Many rooms and suites here have private terraces that jut out right over the Arno, granting views of the Palazzo Vecchio and Duomo opposite. Four suites in a 13th-century tower preserve details like exposed stone walls and old archways and look over a little square with a medieval tower covered in jasmine. The very chic interiors approximate breezily elegant homes, with lots of crisp white fabrics with blue trim. A wall of windows and a sea of white couches make the lobby bar one of the most relaxing places in the city to stop for a drink. Inquire about the Lungarno Suites, across the river; they include kitchens, making them attractive if you're planning a longer stay.
