Angels or demons? Daredevil charm and whimsical quirks shake up this Renaissance city.

Shaking up the historic city with a bit of devious drama, the 25hours Hotel design is eclectically inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, complete with ‘Heaven or Hell’-themed rooms. With an unsurprisingly OTT aesthetic, the former monastery complex is transformed by interior design doyenne, Paola Navone, into huge multi-coloured spaces, stuffed with retro pieces, curiosities, artworks, and graffiti.

Surrounding the lush courtyard garden, the ‘Heaven’ rooms are all breezy whites and silver angel wings, where televisions are hidden behind oversized T-shirts bearing ‘Fly to Heaven’ slogans. The ‘Hell’ rooms come in deep, dark red, with slate grey linens and black toilet fixtures, whilst decorative cards pronouncing the Seven Deadly Sins hang overhead. Take your pick where you want to end up – whether saint or sinner, we won’t judge.
