Portrait Firenze
Portrait Firenze is owned by the Ferragamo family (yes, that Ferragamo family), and, as such, you can expect stylish touches throughout every corner of the property. The high-end hotel, which overlooks the River Arno and the Ponte Vecchio, attracts well-heeled travelers craving a luxurious getaway in the heart of the city.
What You Need to Know
The Look of Portrait Firenze
Portrait Firenze is housed inside a contemporary white-and-cream-colored stone building. Upon stepping inside, you’ll feel worlds away from Florence’s historic charm and millennia-old streets. The lobby (which is actually more of a sleek reception area-slash-sitting room) and the other common spaces feature contemporary furnishings, dark woods, and a color palette of grays, blacks, and golds. You'll also find an array of paintings, photos (including snaps of famous figures like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly), and sculptures.
The 37 rooms and suites — which start at 430 square feet — are just as impressive with their chic gray color palette and plush bedding. Most accommodations have kitchenettes plus jaw-dropping views of the river and Ponte Vecchio. We’d also be remiss not to highlight the elegant all-white bathrooms, which are outfitted with separate soaking tubs and, fittingly, Ferragamo bath amenities. For a well-worth-it-splurge, opt for a suite with a balcony.
The Vibe at Portrait Firenze
Portrait Firenze is a small boutique property with an intimate and refined vibe — that is, sans any stuffiness. Fellow guests are often out and about exploring the city; otherwise, they can be found socializing at the swanky on-site eatery.
Also, thanks to the hotel’s small size and boutique feel, guests can also expect top-notch service. Enter the Lifestyle Team, a group of helpful staff who are on hand to tend to one’s every want and need.
