Florence is all about the visuals (like art, beauty and nature), and The Gallery Hotel Art manages to capture the city's essence glamorously in its decadent boutique hotel. Credit is due to Michele Bonan, a notable architect who distinguished the hotel with local sensibility, allure, fashion and art. Near the popular Palazzo Strozzi and Ponte Vecchio, Gallery Hotel Art is set on a quiet courtyard, boasting commanding views, stunning interiors and romantic interludes when discerning guests are not obsessing over the contemporary art and high fashion the hotel effortlessly flaunts.
Gallery Hotel Art is in high demand for affluent travelers, notable for its rotating art and photo exhibits that have included famous names like David LaChapelle and Steven Klein. In fact, the highbrow allure of Gallery Hotel Art starts in the lobby, which feels like a modern art gallery. All 74 contemporary rooms are equally artsy with original artwork, locally crafted furnishings and materials and impressive city views. The hotel has an "in" with the Salvatore Ferragamo Museum and boutique, where guests receive private access with a stay. Such privileges are exclusive to the hotel, which effortlessly handles insider perks for its discerning guests.
Gorgeous rooms, perfect location, and a wonderful roof-top bar.
