以兩岸風(fēng)景優(yōu)美著稱的阿諾河(River Arno)是意大利佛羅倫薩的象征,向世人傾訴著這座城市所承載的輝煌歷史,同時也為這座城市孕育著美好的未來。阿諾河早在古羅馬時期就已通航,在橫跨其上的橋梁中,老橋“維奇奧”(Ponte Vecchio)是最為優(yōu)美的一座。在這里,詩人但丁愛上了比阿特麗斯,作家曼佐尼“漂洗”了《婚約夫婦》中的語言。此河、此橋、此景、此情,朗伽諾酒店集團(tuán)(Lungarno Collection)也一并收納,締造了一段不同尋常的傳奇。
The flow of the River Arno symbolizes the abundant history of Florence, and inspires the future. The city of Florence was founded and built on these shores with the Ponte Vecchio being the most beautiful of all of its bridges, offering delightful access to navigation already during Roman times and affirming a magnificent background for our hotels today. This is where Dante fell in love with Beatrice and Alessandro Manzoni chose the language for his novel \"The Betrothed\". This is also where the story of the Lungarno Collection began.
手工情懷 精致之旅
說到朗伽諾酒店集團(tuán),不得不提時尚品牌菲拉格慕及其創(chuàng)始人薩爾瓦多·菲拉格慕(Salvatore Ferragamo)。1915年,年僅16歲的薩爾瓦多只身離開他工作的位于意大利博尼圖的小鞋店,前往美國。經(jīng)過多年努力奮斗,他破繭而出成為了“明星御用制鞋師”,為眾多好萊塢女星設(shè)計并手工制作鞋子。
出于對祖國的眷戀,薩爾瓦多于1937年回到意大利,定居佛羅倫薩,并召集當(dāng)?shù)貓猿謧鹘y(tǒng)、技藝精湛的專業(yè)制革工匠,在托納波尼路的一座宏大的中世紀(jì)宮殿中開始經(jīng)營起自己的鞋店,菲拉格慕這個經(jīng)久不衰的品牌由此誕生。光顧鞋店的客人非富即貴,從電影明星到政界名人,從外交人員到王公貴族,正是與各路名人的廣泛接觸和對手工技藝的無限追求,為日后朗伽諾酒店品牌高尚的風(fēng)采與深厚的底蘊(yùn)奠定了基礎(chǔ)。
1995年,薩爾瓦多最小的兒子萊昂納多(Leonardo)創(chuàng)辦朗伽諾酒店集團(tuán),現(xiàn)任主席的他表示:“對于我的家族來說,投身酒店事業(yè)可謂關(guān)鍵之舉,因為這個行業(yè)和時尚領(lǐng)域非常相似,使我們有機(jī)會創(chuàng)造不同尋常的體驗和持久彌新的記憶。我們的酒店各具特色,但都始終堅持我們的希望和愿景。集團(tuán)的標(biāo)志是一個六瓣花朵,源于象征佛羅倫薩的鳶尾花,邀請我們的客人體味意大利之美。”
雖然朗伽諾并不是薩爾瓦多自己創(chuàng)辦的酒店品牌,但他仍然被普遍認(rèn)作是這個品牌的首位經(jīng)營者,因為他將自己對佛羅倫薩的一片深情毫無保留地傳遞給了他的兒女們,從而令這種情感強(qiáng)烈地反映在朗伽諾酒店的精致之中。

Although the Lungarno Collection was founded by Salvatore's youngest son Leonardo instead of Salvatore, people still consider the latter as the first extraordinary hotelier of the brand, because it was he who installed a strong sense of refined hospitality and a deep love for Florence in his children.
Pursuit of Exquisite Craftsmanship
When it comes to Lungarno Collection, the Ferragamo brand and its founder Salvatore Ferragamo cannot be ignored. He was only sixteen years of age when he left his small shoe shop in Bonito in Italy and moved to America in 1915. Within very few years he became 'The Shoemaker of the Stars', hand crafting and designing footwear for the most famous Hollywood actresses.
In 1937, he returned to Italy and chose to live in Florence, where he found cultured and professional leather artisans adhering to ancient traditions and opened his store in a grand medieval palace in the historic Via Tornabuoni, starting his own brand. His customers included film stars, celebrities, diplomats, and nobility alike. The extensive contact with the upper class people and the pursuit of exquisite craftsmanship laid a solid foundation for the Lungarno Collection.
\"Entering the world of hospitality was very important to my family as it's very similar to the world of fashion, giving us the opportunity to create a different experience and lasting memories. All of our hotels are unique, yet consistent with our profound vision. The proud symbol of the Lungarno Collection is a six petal flower, inspired by the Florentine emblem of the red iris. It extends an invitation to our guests to discover the beauty of Italy in full bloom.\"

“肖像”系列
目前,朗伽諾旗下?lián)碛形寮揖频?,最有代表性的?dāng)屬“肖像系列”的兩家酒店——羅馬肖像酒店(Portrait Roma)和佛羅倫薩肖像酒店(Portrait Firenze)。起名“肖像”原因何在?進(jìn)入酒店一探便知。原來,在這兩個酒店的墻面上展示著大量人物照片,尤以黑白照片為主,將20世紀(jì)50、60年代佛羅倫薩的黃金時期重現(xiàn)于客人眼前。
佛羅倫薩肖像酒店的建筑可以追溯到1200年,當(dāng)初是一座三層的豪華住宅,花園露臺可以俯瞰阿諾河。幾經(jīng)易主與翻修,這座宮殿式建筑于19世紀(jì)80年代被改造成為一間服務(wù)設(shè)施一應(yīng)俱全的奢華酒店,名為Grand Hotel Royal de l’Arno,在隨后的一個世紀(jì)里招待過像英國小說家查爾斯·狄更斯這樣的名人。酒店毀于第二次時間大戰(zhàn)的硝煙中,重建后曾作為他用,最終又變回酒店,收于朗伽諾酒店集團(tuán)麾下。
在酒店的套房和公共區(qū)域所展示的照片中,20世紀(jì)50、60年代來自世界各國的名人比比皆是,如意大利女高音歌唱家麗娜塔·苔巴爾迪、著名美籍希臘女高音歌唱家瑪麗亞·卡拉斯、原比利時國王鮑德溫、美國演員格蕾絲·凱利等。當(dāng)然,也不乏薩爾瓦多先生及其女兒菲瑪?shù)恼掌?,與薩爾瓦多有過往來的著名設(shè)計師們也有所展示,如克里斯汀·迪奧、伊爾莎·斯奇培爾莉等。
新開的羅馬肖像酒店則位于羅馬康多堤大道菲拉格慕男裝店上面的連棟住宅之中,亦延續(xù)著薩爾瓦多的藝術(shù)生命與創(chuàng)作激情,樓梯間和客房中的時裝模特照片保留并展示著薩爾瓦多本人對于時尚的理解。
Why Portrait ?
Currently, the Lungarno Collection has five hotels and two of them stand out _ Portrait Roma and Portrait Firenze. Why are they so named? You will know it after stepping into the hotels. An enormous amount of photos can be found on the walls in the two hotels, especially black and white photos, presenting the 1950s-60s Florence before the eyes of guests.
The building of the Portrait Firenze boasts an age-old and fascinating history dating back to the 1200's. It was a sumptuous three-story palazzo with terraced garden overlooking the Arno river. Then the ancient palazzo was converted into a luxury hotel named the Grand Hotel Royal de l'Arno in the early 1800's after several changes of ownership and structural renovations, equipped with every modern comfort. The hotel accommodated quite a few inllustrious guests like Charles Dickens and his wife. Unfortunately, the building was bombed and destroyed during World War II. Rebuilt on its foundations and used for a variety of purposes, it then returned to its original purpose as a hotel, becoming part of the Lungarno Collection.
Photos in the suites and in public areas of the Portrait Firenze bring the city's golden period from the 50s to 60s back to life, when Italian high fashion took off and international celebrities started arriving, like Italian soprano singer Maria Callas, Greek soprano singer Renata Tebaldi, King Baudouin of Belgium, American actress Grace Kelly. Of course there are also photos of Salvatore Ferragamo, his daughter Fiamma Ferragamo, and some of the designers he has had dealings with, like Christian Dior and Elsa Schiaparelli.
Portrait Roma is located throughout the upper floors of the townhouse directly above the Salvatore Ferragamo Men's Store on Via Condotti continues the artistic life and creative passion of Salvatore Ferragamo. Photos depicting the fashion heritage of Salvatore Ferragamo are displayed along the stairwells and in the guestrooms.
藝術(shù)魅力無處不在
朗伽諾集團(tuán)的每間酒店都擁有自己獨特的“性格”,但承襲當(dāng)?shù)氐奈幕?、歷史和傳統(tǒng)是其堅定不移的信念,客人入住其中可以體驗到穿越時代之感,如同酒店的設(shè)計師米歇爾·博南所言:“我對于建筑的理解可以回溯到一個多世紀(jì)以前,那時不同的藝術(shù)形式,如雕塑、油畫,都可以與建筑完美和諧地融為一體。”
無論是由16世紀(jì)建筑住宅翻修而成的朗伽諾酒店(Hotel Lungarno),還是重現(xiàn)佛羅倫薩文藝復(fù)興時期藝術(shù)之美的藝術(shù)廊酒店(Gallery Hotel Art),亦或是喚起對20世紀(jì)中期意大利時裝和電影之向往的大陸酒店(Continentale),設(shè)計大師米歇爾·博南對細(xì)節(jié)的要求都達(dá)到了極致、精益求精。他最大的追求之一就是利用完美的藝術(shù)手段將室內(nèi)設(shè)計和室外建筑一絲不茍地融為一體。
“我對于建筑的理解可以回溯到一個多世紀(jì)以前,那時不同的藝術(shù)形式,如雕塑、油畫,都可以與建筑完美和諧地融為一體。”
\"My concept of architecture goes back more than a century, when various arts, sculpture, painting and architecture, were fused together to find a harmonic unicum, with the decorations become one with the building.\"
Art Exists Everywhere
Each hotel of the Lungarno Collection has its own personality, drawing inspiration from urban culture and history and making the guests feel as if going back to the good old days. The designer of the hotels Michele B?nan said, \"My concept of architecture goes back more than a century, when various arts, sculpture, painting and architecture, were fused together to find a harmonic unicum, with the decorations become one with the building.\"
Whether it is the Hotel Lungarno which was renovated from a 16 century residence, or the Gallery Hotel Art which reproduces the beauty of the Florence Renaissance, or the Continetale Hotel which evokes Italian inspiration from the 1950's and 60's fashion and cinema period, design master B?nan's focus on detail reaches an extremely high level. One of his pursuits is to fuse the interior with the exterior in a perfectly artistic manner.
作為一個擁有并經(jīng)營酒店的時尚品牌,菲拉格慕家族將其經(jīng)久不衰的創(chuàng)新精神灌輸?shù)嚼寿ぶZ集團(tuán)的酒店之中。無懈可擊的地理位置和佛羅倫薩手工藝人的創(chuàng)造力為酒店的風(fēng)格錦上添花。無論是在佛羅倫薩無限浪漫的阿諾河邊,還是在羅馬商業(yè)氛圍濃厚的康多堤大道之上,優(yōu)美、激情、細(xì)膩、華貴都始終伴其左右。如同菲拉格慕這個時尚品牌一樣,朗伽諾酒店尊重每位客人的獨特需求,提供個性化的服務(wù)。
As a fashion brand that owns and manages hotels, the Ferragamo family inspired the Lungarno Collection with its unfailing spirit of innovation. Creative and profound Florentine craftsmanship and impeccable locations add to the style of the hotels. Whether it is on the most romantic stretch of the River Arno in Florence or the fashion street of Via Condotti in Rome, beauty, passion, attention to detail and sumptuous handcrafted materials are always featured by the hotels. Just like the fashion brand Ferragamo, the Lungarno Collection caters to the individuality of each guest.
