Portrait Suites
Owned by the Salvatore Ferragamo family, better known for their exquisite shoe creations, this is an equally exquisite pied-à-terre that overlooks the designer-lined street of Via Condotti. It's not a hotel but an intimate residence, with only 14 studios and suites (each with a sleek kitchenette). Ideal for privacy-loving fashionistas, there's a personal feel that you won't get in a hotel.
