Hotel Lungarno
Private terraces with views of the Arno and the Palazzo Vecchio are among the draws in many of this hotel's accommodations. One studio suite in a 13th-century tower preserves details like exposed stone walls and old archways, and looks over a little square with a medieval tower covered in jasmine. The chic interiors approximate breezily elegant homes, with lots of crisp, white fabrics with blue trim.
