Fodor's Expert Review Gallery Hotel Art

Part of the Lungarno Collection (a group of four hotels in Florence owned by Ferragamo), Gallery Hotel Art embodies its name as the entire property has a modern museum feel throughout. With rotating exhibits and a minimalist aesthetic, the hotel gives off an east-meets-west feel and prides itself on a high level of service. Ideally located in the heart of the city center, this chic boutique is an art-lovers dream and the perfect way to engross oneself into the artistic city that is Florence.

room

Stylish rooms are a mix of Japanese and Italian motifs with hardwood floors, leather headboards, and oh-so-cozy cashmere blankets. Bose Bluetooth speakers are standard as are flat screens and multiple rooms have balconies with city views.

bathroom

Slick bathrooms are decked out with tile floors and stone slab walls, have shower/tub combos, double sinks, and bidets. Ferragamo bath products are standard and take-home worthy.

lobby

The lobby doubles as an art exhibition space with a single flat orange couch for surveying the collection. Art collections rotate yearly, so you’re almost always exposed to something new with each visit.

spa

There’s no spa in the hotel, but guests can access sister hotel Continentale’s spa which is right next door.

dining

The Fusion Bar & Restaurant is a gastronomic marvel with a mix of Japanese, Peruvian, and Mediterranean cuisines. For outdoor people-watching, there’s a terrace in the alleyway that’s a perfect spot for late afternoon drinks and snacks.

drinking

At Fusion Bar & Restaurant, excellent mixologists prepare classic and unique cocktails to go along with the fusion styled food. A happy hour runs from 5-7pm where all drinks are 10 Euros.
