About This Guide
The view from above changes everything. Florence's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. Hotel Lungarno boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Florence, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. Soprarno Suites features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.
