VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Just steps from Florence’s famous Ponte Vecchio bridge sits Hotel Lungarno, the first of the Ferragamo family’s Lungarno Collection, a series of luxury hotels in Florence and Rome all with unique visions and identities. Hotel Lungarno is the most classic of the bunch, attracting honeymooners and Italians alike.
Coming off a recent renovation, the lobby now welcomes you with a comfortable lounge feel, new technology to expedite the check-in process and direct, breathtaking views of the Ponte Vecchio. The design reflects a subtle maritime theme with elegant river boat colors of white and blue. The light-filled spaces are enhanced by original art from several top names, including Picasso and Cocteau, and the hotel itself features more than 450 pieces of 20th-century works.
The picture-perfect Picteau Lounge encourages you to opt for an afternoon negroni and take in a little of Florence with each sip while gazing at incredible views of the Arno River.
