The 16th-century Paoli palazzo became Hotel Universo e Tosca in 1857, closed in 2015, then reopened in 2019 as Grand Universe Lucca, a 55-room Autograph Collection hotel facing Piazza Napoleone. Archea Associati's restoration kept Roman-era wall foundations and a glassblower's fountain remnant in the cellar; rooms run from Piccolo to the Puccini Suite.
