By reinventing a venerable complex of former convents dating back to the 12th century, Capella Hotels and Resorts is set to make its much-anticipated European debut in Florence, Italy, in 2027.
- Located in the historic heart of the Tuscan capital, in Via San Gallo, the hotel will be just a few steps from the Piazza della Libertà (the northernmost point of the historic centre of Florence) and the Duomo (cathedral).
- The complex where Capella Florence is coming up has been home to the convents of Sant’Agata, San Clemente and Santa Lucia di Camporeggi, which hosted talented artists like Arcangela Paladini.
- It even served as a military hospital back in the day.
- The hotel is designed by renowned Italian architectural firms RPA and De Vita & Schulze, with interiors by French design house Liaigre.
- This will mark the restoration of one of the city’s most culturally important and storied properties.
“Capella Florence represents a natural evolution of our vision, bringing the Capella experience to a city where culture, history, and artistry are deeply ingrained in everyday life,” Cristiano Rinaldi, President, Capella Hotel Group, said in a statement.
