"The sole modern luxury hotel in Lucca’s historic center, occupying a revived 16th-century palazzo and nodding to the city’s musical heritage with offerings such as a commissioned personal prelude for guests; contemporary interiors are paired with a rooftop champagne bar serving curated cuvées and light bites with views over Piazza Napoleone, making it a stylish base for exploring the city and its summer festival scene." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
