Hotel Calimala Florence
Hotel Calimala, Florence – Where History Meets Design
Florence is a city that effortlessly blends the old with the new, where Renaissance architecture, contemporary art, and modern-day luxury coexist in a heady mix of culture and style. And if you’re looking for a hotel that encapsulates this spirit, Hotel Calimala is the place to check in.
Tucked away in the heart of Florence’s historic centre, just moments from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Duomo, this boutique hotel is set within a 19th-century building that has been reimagined with a bold, modern aesthetic. Think exposed stone walls, velvet seating, rich jewel tones, and industrial-chic lighting—it’s a stylish contrast to the city’s historic charm.
The Rooms
With 38 rooms and suites, Hotel Calimala is intimate yet perfectly formed. Each room blends original architectural features with contemporary flourishes—expect original stonework, sleek brass fittings, and striking artwork that gives a sense of place. Some rooms come with private balconies or terraces, offering a rare vantage point over Florence’s rooftops. If you’re the kind of traveller who loves a long, indulgent soak, book a room with a freestanding bathtub—because what’s a luxury stay without one?
The Rooftop – Angel Roofbar & Dining
Florence does rooftops well, and Hotel Calimala’s Angel Roofbar & Dining is a standout. This multi-level rooftop space is where breakfast, cocktails, and dinner come with a panoramic 360-degree view of the city—and what a view it is. Whether you're sipping an Aperol Spritz as the sun sets over the Duomo or enjoying a leisurely Tuscan-inspired dinner, the setting is pure magic. The menu is a mix of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours—think grilled octopus, fresh burrata, and homemade pasta—all made with locally sourced ingredients.
