Opening in 2027, Capella Florence will honour an 800-year cultural legacy of art, spirituality and community with its visionary reimagining of Via San Gallo historic complex.
Capella Hotels and Resorts will make its much-anticipated first foray into Europe with the opening of Capella Florence in 2027. 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.
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.
