2018 Readers' Choice Awards: The Top Hotels in Florence | Condé Nast Traveler

"Right by the river and a short walk to the Duomo and Santa Maria Novella train station, this "little gem within walking distance of everything you want to see in Florence" has "the perfect location," readers say. The interior reflects Tuscan, Empire, and Florentine influences with marble floors, stained glass, tapestries, and frescoes. All accommodations are "huge, beautiful, and top of the line," but "ask for a room with Arno River views" to really feel entrenched. Art Deco–style ORVM Bar serves Italian-Mediterranean specialties that "I still remember." Se.Sto on Arno, the glass-encased rooftop restaurant, offers 360-degree views of the city and an ample selection of Italian wines." - CNT Editors
