25hours Hotel Company has announced plans to launch its first Italian property in early 2020. The 25hours Firenze will be centrally located on Piazza San Paolino in Florenceās historic Old Town.
Milan-based Genius Loci Architettura and interior designer Paola Navone will collaborate on the design of the new project, drawing inspiration from the vision of paradise captured in Danteās Divine Comedy.

The 173-room property will top one structure, a former bank building from 1800, with a covered patio to be occupied by an Italian restaurant. A cafĆ© will be installed on the ground floor opening to the piazza, along with an elegant bar.
