This deliciously club-like contemporary classic – designed by Michele Bönan – has a charm, and location (not far from the Santa Maria Novella Basilica), unrivalled by many of the city’s top accommodations. While its 20 rooms boast a distinct home-from-home feel with elegant pastels and creams, its chic destination lounge attracts the international jet set and suited-up locals alike. The biggest draw, though, might be its alfresco terrace overlooking the dimming lights of the city, especially on a warm summer night.
