Occupying a privileged position in the historic and cultural heart of Florence, moments from the Piazza della Libertà and the Duomo, this respectful reinvention of a venerable complex of former convents continues to build on the bespoke luxury brand's thoughtful expansion into global destinations.
A masterful reimagining of the historic Via San Gallo by acclaimed Italian architectural firms RPA and De Vita & Schulze with refined interiors by French design house Liaigre, Capella Florence will breathe new life into one of the city's most culturally important and storied properties.
Dating back to the 12th century, the site has been home to the convents of Sant'Agata, San Clemente and Santa Lucia di Camporeggi; hosted talented artists like Arcangela Paladini; and served as a military hospital.
"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," says Cristiano Rinaldi, President, Capella Hotel Group.
"In a destination as rich and layered as Florence, we are honoured to collaborate with a worldrenowned architect and interior designer who share our dedication to crafting spaces that respect local history while creating meaningful connections for today's luxury traveller. It is a privilege to be entrusted with the renewal of this historic part of Florence's cultural and communal heritage."
Augmenting sensitively restored heritage buildings with visionary architecture, the 89-key property will converge eight centuries of artistic and cultural excellence with bespoke luxury and timeless elegance.
Two refined restaurants, showcasing local Tuscan cuisine and Japanese sushi omakase respectively, will be complemented by a rooftop bar, subterranean speakeasy wine vault and Capella's signature Living Room.
A separate Clubhouse will be home to a 600sqm Capella Spa with hydro pool, fitness centre and café, while an indoor amphitheatre will pay homage to the site's 800-year tradition of creativity and cultural exchange, elevated through the lens of Capella's visionary curation and crafted hospitality.
In addition to 33 suites and 56 guestrooms, Capella Florence will also feature 10 exclusive classical and modern residences with a dedicated entrance.
Building on the success of its properties across Asia and the Pacific, Capella Florence's opening in 2027 will mark the brand's European debut, representing Capella's commitment to thoughtful expansion in culturally rich destinations.
