Hotel La Gemma

Florence Cathedral’s façade has as delicious a colour combo as a fresh tub of Neapolitan, and the Cecchi family – the highly creative dynasty behind Hotel La Gemma (in the 19th-century Palazzo Paoletti) – have taken note. The decor throughout this luxurious, down-the-street-from-the-Duomo stay swirls sage, cream and blush together and shows off the various nous of the dynasty, (fashion designer, architect, artist…) with botanical-print silk-screen walls, deco-shaped custom furnishings and cosmopolitan lounge and mod-Florentine eatery. And this craftiness comes to life on excursions to otherwise off-limits designer’s studios, bespoke perfumery sessions, knife-making classes and more – showing that even now the city just keeps on renaissance-ing…

Hotel La Gemma is ideally located in the Historic Centre, set amid grand palazzi on Via Calimala. It’s close to all the main attractions, just a block or two from Piazza della Repubblica, Palazzo Strozzi, the Cathedral, main shopping arteries and more.
