Hotel Lungarno | Jamie Dunford WoodIn Italian, Lungarno means on the banks of the Arno River, which is exactly where the very cool luxury hotel is located in Florence, a stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio. The entrance is off the wonderful Borgo San Jacopo, which is best for...-

Pavillon de la Reine

Jamie Dunford Wood
This fantastically located 17thC Paris mansion (off the Place des Vosges in the Marais) suffers very slightly from a faux-chateau complex. The Pavillon de la Reine's reception area is decked in heavy and ancient stone flagging, striped furnishings,...
