Chapter Chianti Brings Bold Design to Tuscany's Luxury Hotel Scene

Chapter Chianti, poised to open its doors in June 2026, marks a significant addition to Tuscany's luxury hotel landscape. This 82-room property, situated a mere 45 minutes from Florence, promises a new editorial chapter in Italian hospitality, blending countryside tranquility with accessibility to Tuscany’s renowned cultural centers. It is the second property under the Chapter Italia brand, following Chapter Roma which launched in 2019.

Developed by Marco Cilia, Chapter Chianti occupies a restored 16th-century medieval village. While preserving original architectural elements, its design introduces a contemporary aesthetic, creating a deliberate contrast within the traditional Tuscan environment. Travel And Tour World reports that each of the 82 rooms is designed for balance, comfort, and individuality.

Our take: Chapter Chianti's strategy of integrating bold, modern design within a historic setting is a welcome departure from more conventional Tuscan luxury. We'll be closely watching how this design-led approach translates into a truly unique guest experience, particularly given the brand's stated aim of offering a more personalized atmosphere than typical high-end properties. The proximity to Chianti's vineyards and Florence's urban attractions positions it well for travelers seeking both immersion and convenience.
