Grand Universe Lucca, Autograph Collection
Known for its historical monuments and the intact sixteenth-century walls, Lucca is a beautiful city located in the heart of Tuscany, at the foot of the Apuan Alps, and less than half an hour from the splendid Versilia coast. Nestled in the heart of this vibrant city, Grand Universe Lucca offers breathtaking views of Saint Martino's Cathedral, all the churches, monuments, and towers. Our hotel is a historical beacon blending different eras of history, from antiquity until today.
From the existing building wall foundations dating back to Roman times to the ancient glassblower's fountain remnants in the cellar and the beautiful classic yet contemporary design of the hotel, Grand Universe Lucca is a one-of-a-kind destination. At the Grand Universe Lucca, the hotel's past lives on in the present, allowing guests to be immersed in an evocative atmosphere that is steeped in history, where the classic and the modern come together. Since 1857, it has been a destination for poets, philosophers, and artists from Italy and abroad.
Now the hotel is preparing to host a whole new generation of clients who will be able to experience the excitement of staying in this property that has undergone a renovation that respects the traditions of a town that was the capital of silk-making in ancient times. Refined decorative elements, furnishings, and fabrics will bring back that understated elegance and charm that have always been the hotel's trademarks.
