"Lungarno Suites\nSpare Contemporary Spaces Add to Florence's Richly Drawn Aesthetic\nArchitect and interior designer Michele Bnan spent a year renovating a 1960s building in Florence, Italy, to create Lungarno Suites.\nThe hotel's entrance.\nAn Eero Saarinen table accents the lobby. The facilities of three nearby sister hotels are available to patrons. \"Guests can use whichever lobby they like,\" says Bnan.\n\"Some of the 44 suites have views of the Arno River. Those without,\" Bnan explains, \"needed something warmer and stronger\u2014thus the coral.\" A one-bedroom suite.\n\"All of the furnishings are my design. We bought nothing ready-made,\" Bnan says. Each suite has a fully stocked kitchen. A river-facing suite has muted tones.\nJapanese-inspired screens separate the bedroom from the kitchen and sitting area. Bnan describes the hotel as \"a lean, rational place with lots of horizontal lines.\"\nSeven suites have terraces where guests can dine while enjoying the view of the Ponte Vecchio. The designer says the hotel is \"full of creature comforts.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
