“Having virtually walked its halls and perused countless images, I can say this landmark truly delivers on its promise of Florentine grandeur. The rooftop setting, with its dining, appears a singular experience. It certainly seems the sort of place where one might make a habit of returning, drawn by both the views and the exceptional service.”
