Few steps away from the main museums and the most exclusive shopping district in Firenze, Via Tornabuoni, overlooking Ponte Vecchio and the Corridoio Vasariano, the Continentale Contemporary Pleasing Hotel is one of Firenze boutique hotels. A modern interpretation of the Dolce Vita style, it offers the perfect alternative to the traditional Renaissance Firenze.

After a complete refurbishment, it opened again its doors in January 2003, as a balm to the jangling nerves of jaded international travelers. Black and white cinematic images adorn the lobby walls. As well as lighting is used in a creative fashion to highlight the original furniture, its scattered collection of clocks and watches emphasizes the concept of a "timeless" place. Public areas are filled with spectral drapes and light pink, lemon and pistachio green tones, crafting a bright, almost shimmering effect. The guestrooms, which by the way have window seats, are dominated by tones of white, and feature canopy beds and designer drapes. The clever use of light woods and voiles for the bed, develop the idea of a modern lightness and brightness and a balanced mix between hi-tech and soft design.

With particular attention to the guest’s well being, with a prompt and attentive service, the Continentale Contemporary Pleasing Hotel has all of the amenities, facilities and levels of comfort they would expect from a hotel of this class. For total relaxation the Sky Lounge is a perfect spot for drinks in the evening, watching the sunset upon the river Arno or the Florentine rooftops. Delicate and intriguing, it is the opportunity to experience the centre of Florence and awaken your senses in an avant-garde, elegant ambience.
