25 Hours Hotel Piazza San Paolino
After Dubai and Copenhagen (last destinations in order of appearance), the first hotel of the German group 25 Hours Hotels, the Piazza San Paolino, made its debut in Italy. Housed in a former ancient monastery, in the historic complex of the former Monte dei Pegni, steps from Santa Maria Novella, in the heart of the city. The renovation, inspired by the Divine Comedy written by the Supreme Poet (of which 2021 was the 700th anniversary of his death), designed by the well-known designer Paola Navone and her staff, has given life to rooms with a strong impact, original and unusual. There are 171 rooms, of different types, in two different buildings, which combine comfort, design and attention to detail.
For an exclusive stay and a unique experience, book the Casetta nel Giardino, a 360 square meter villa with equipped kitchen, pizza oven, barbecue, terrace and private swimming pool, a Schindelhauer bicycle and more. At the San Paolino Ristorante, in a surprising covered garden, open all day and open to outsiders as well as other food-related realities, boasts a cuisine linked to the season, of taste and substance, easy to use and understand, proposed, in short, far from the fine dining of certain hotels. Then there is the food shop I Golosi, followed by Santo Forno (same folks of Santo Bevitore), gourmet purchases and pit stops with pairings of select glasses, to be enjoyed, if desired, even in the large terrace at one of the available tables. Finally, lovers of mixed drinks will find great satisfaction (and the right cocktail) at the Companion Bar.
