"It is an impressive hotel, one as stylish as any, and puts to shame the more tentative offerings of other fashion houses." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This trendy, contemporary hotel is designed to impress. The entrance lobby features installations by the leading Italian artist, Fabrizio Corneli."
Condé Nast Traveler "This hotel’s couldn’t-be-better location in the heart of Florence means that its rooftop bar has incomparable 360-degree views of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo... and the Ponte Vecchio." Full review

Travel + Leisure "The 43-room, Ferragamo-owned Continentale has an unbeatable location right over the Ponte Vecchio, and a hip vibe with retro overtones." Full review
