Florence is one the world's epic destinations. Birthplace of the Renaissance and home to enough artistic treasures to make even the Louvre blush crimson, it's a must-see on any Italian itinerary. That said, it can also be so overrun with visitors that it takes a trained artistic eye just to spot the sights through the crowds. A quiet place to lay your head here is a necessary balm to the frenzy. Hotel Lungarno is one of those remedies and, for lovers of art in fashion form, a well-connected one at that.
