"The Continentale hotel is a Lungarno Collection hotel, which means it’s a Salvatore Ferragamo hotel — but this is a hotel that is determined to win you over on its own, without coasting on a reputation earned in the fashion world." - Mark Fedeli
"This hotel’s couldn’t-be-better location in the heart of Florence—in fact, at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio on the North side—means that its rooftop bar has incomparable 360-degree views of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, the Florentine hills, and the Ponte Vecchio. The 43-room Continentale is luminous, with a chic contemporary look made comfy by cushioned white sofas and gossamer white drapes flowing from luxurious four-posters piled high with pillows. Guest rooms have freestanding full-length lacquered mirrors and raw-oak floors; bathrooms have square white-stone sinks and walk-in showers with thunderous water pressure."

"The Continentale hotel is a Lungarno Collection hotel, which means it's a Salvatore Ferragamo hotel. Why the chain of code names? Why not just come out and say it, Ferragamo in blinking neon, or at least radiant gold (a la Versace)? Why not at least take advantage of the opportunity to better position the brand, like Cerruti or Bulgari?" - Tablet Hotels
