Grand Universe Lucca

Top choice in Lucca


Luxury accommodation arrives in Lucca with the opening of this on-trend hotel, part of the Marriott Group's Autograph Collection, in a 16th-century palazzo that once was home to the historic Hotel Universo (1857). Tech-smart rooms (think iPad room directory, video on demand, Netflix and so on) enjoy soft colour schemes typical to earthy Tuscany – rust, gold, terracotta and peach – and beautiful fabrics.

The hotel wine bar and bistro promises to be a fashionable place to lounge over drinks in style.
