Art-themed modern design
The Gallery Hotel Art is conveniently situated within easy reach of most of the sights of Florence. The Duomo is just 300m away and the central railway station is about 1km away. The Piazza della Signoria with the Fountain of Neptune is a short stroll from the hotel.
In a city as old as Florence, the Gallery Hotel Art, by contrast, was one of the first modern boutique hotels in Florence. It is appropriately owned and created by fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo and his family. This cosmopolitan boutique hotel offers a level of luxury which is never over-the-top, and true to its name, it is an ever-changing showcase of artists’ work. Tasteful natural materials and colours are used throughout the hotel’s minimalist décor to bring a Zen-like karma to each space.
Luxury is the keyword in each bedroom, with Peitra Serena marble flooring, exquisite Italian bathroom tiles and hand-stitched pigskin bedsteads for the ultimate in comfort. Suites offer spacious living areas and will easily sleep three adults, whilst the penthouses indulge guests with fully furnished terraces and panoramic views over this historic city.
This ultra-modern designer hotel goes one step further than most luxury hotels in Florence and incorporates a comfortably furnished library full of art books for guests’ pleasure. Useful as a meeting place or as a place to relax and browse, the library has modern, stylish seating heaped with comfy cushions.
The hotel’s Fusion Bar includes the Shozan Gallery and offers a chic, up-market ambience to its discerning clientele. Enjoy drinks in the fashionable bar followed by beautifully created works of art from the kitchen, which are as enjoyable to eat as they are to look at.
The hotel lobby continually hosts exhibitions of contemporary art and larger-than-life photographs throughout the year, ensuring the space is ever-changing and full of interest.
