The house
The Social HubHybrid creative campus
The property runs as an energetic campus, bringing travelers, local students, and remote workers together across shared desks and lounges.
What it’s good at
Notable
Terracotta and reclaimed stone interiors sit beneath a sprawling public rooftop botanical garden.
Notable
A panoramic rooftop bar and public terrace drawing locals, students, and hotel guests.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The facilities were designed with long-term student leases and co-working spaces in mind and not just tourists; there are bikes for rent, a music store, and a smart concept store.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
San Jacopino gives you a residential setting outside the tourist crush, with Santa Maria Novella station a short walk away.
The rooms
Compact bedrooms use bold color accents and efficient desks, serving as practical crash pads for busy travelers.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 50-meter rooftop lap pool sits beneath an overhanging mirrored canopy and looks out over the city skyline.
The gym
Technogym equipment and an indoor turf track fill the fitness center, which hosts daily group workout classes.
At the table
Ammodino serves handmade pasta on the ground-floor terrace, and cocktails are shaken at the rooftop bar.
How it began
The complex reclaimed a derelict Fiat site that sat empty for nearly a decade in San Jacopino.
