25hours Florence: The Hotel That Made Me Switch Hotels

I’ll take you through the rooms — the reddest Inferno room I’ve ever slept in and the all-white Paradiso alternative — plus the Santa Maria Novella setting, the I Golosi grocery-café, the spa, sauna, cinema, and the design details that make this one of the most unusual boutique hotels I’ve stayed at in Italy. The building moved from monastery to pawn shop to a decade of dereliction before becoming a hotel built around Dante’s Divine Comedy, and you can feel that arc throughout.
This is stop five on my five-week sprint through Italy, where I’m staying anonymously at some of the country’s most talked-about boutique hotels, luxury hotels, and design-forward stays. No paid placements, no hosted stays — just honest reactions and a deeper look at what these places actually feel like once you’re inside them.
