Lonely Planet review

Another in the growing chain of Florence's anti-antique hotels, this ultra-trendy number manages to incorporate a medieval stone tower while remaining aggressively 21st-century, with wired rooms, contemporary art and spare yet lush design throughout.

Designer Michele Bonan has done magnificent work, turning clocks into tabletops and fitting out an elevator with a cushy couch - for lounging between floors presumably. Rooms are simple yet eloquently furnished with rich, expensive woods and fabrics, and warm hints of colour. All are fitted out with wireless Internet access, CD and DVD players, satellite television, and flat-screen monitors. Many also boast intimate views onto the Arno and Ponte Vecchio. The top-floor terrace has tremendous views and attracts the young, rich and pulchritudinous from around the globe. Or if you prefer, there is the chill bar in the medieval tower, or the low-ceilinged 'relax' room, which consists simply of a half-dozen chaises longues that look out onto the Ponte Vecchio.
