Hotel Calimala

Contemporary Design in a Historic Florentine Frame

Via Calimala, in Florence's historic center

Why We Recommend It

This brilliantly reimagined historic building offers a fresh perspective on Florentine hospitality. Designer Alex Meitlis has created a compelling dialogue between the palazzo’s 19th-century structure and contemporary design elements—resulting in spaces that feel both respectful of tradition and excitingly innovative. The spectacular rooftop venue provides one of Florence’s most atmospheric dining and socializing experiences with its multi-level terraces offering panoramic city views.

Atmosphere and Design

Hotel Calimala showcases thoughtful contemporary design that highlights rather than hides the building’s historic features. Original stone walls and terracotta floors serve as a canvas for custom-designed furniture, striking geometric patterns, and curated artwork. The effect is sophisticated yet welcoming, with unexpected design elements creating visual interest throughout. The hotel’s atmosphere balances cosmopolitan style with authentic Florentine warmth.
