The house
Room MateVelvet neoclassical palazzo
The 1865 palazzo runs like a casual townhouse, trading classical restraint for saturated color and breakfast served until noon.
What it’s good at
Notable
Velvet upholstery, polished brass accents, and graphic wallpaper inside an 1865 palazzo.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
San Lorenzo Market is five minutes away on foot. The Accademia Gallery sits just as close.
The rooms
Parquet floors and polished brass trim define the compact bedrooms, kept quiet by soundproof windows.
At the table
Marble-topped tables and magenta velvet banquettes line the sage-green breakfast room, set across checkered floors beneath an arched window.
How it began
An order of nuns ran the 1865 palazzo for years before it was remade into a modern hotel.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
