W hotel opens in the heart of Florence
The hotel is located near the city's Duomo and is housed within a landmark building that was once the home of the Grand Hotel Majestic.
The property features 119 guestrooms, including a penthouse with a roughly 1,500-square-foot private terrace that offers views of the Duomo and St. Lorenzo Cathedral.
The W Florence's dining offerings are opening in phases. Tratto, a contemporary Italian restaurant helmed by the culinary collective Trattoria Contemporanea, has already made its debut. Tratto operates the hotel's main dining room and bar as well as its W Lounge, courtyard and room service.
Two additional venues -- the craft cocktail-focused Zefiro Rooftop and contemporary Korean and Japanese concept Akira Back -- are scheduled to debut later this summer.
The hotel also offers a 24/7 gym, outfitted with cardio and strength-training equipment, as well as a central courtyard that can host private events.
The Florence property marks the lifestyle flag's second Italian location, joining the W Rome.

Investing in a Greener Future
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Clean energy is no longer just a government target or a topic for climate reports. It has become a global economic driver and a fast-growing space for innovation. What was once viewed as a specialist sector is now central to how countries plan for growth, security and long-term resilience. For UK founders, this presents a moment of real opportunity. Whether your business is in technology, logistics, finance, construction or professional services, understanding clean energy finance is now part of building a future-ready company. As the world transitions toward low-carbon systems, the ability to navigate this space will separate those who can scale sustainably from those left behind. Over the last 15 years, I've worked across public and private sectors. I've helped shape major infrastructure deals in the UK as the Project Finance Advisor for the UK Cabinet Office and Infrastructure Project Authority, and led the design of energy investment strategies in Mongolia, where we are actively positioning the country as a green energy exporter for Asia. What I've learned is that clean energy is not an isolated sector. It cuts across industries, borders and policy frameworks, which means opportunity is everywhere for those who know how to engage with it. Clean energy is part of the mainstream economy This is a critical mindset shift. Clean energy is not a side project or a corporate social responsibility box to tick. It is a core driver of economic transformation. Global investors are now treating renewable energy, battery storage, grid infrastructure and green hydrogen as long-term, high-quality assets. These are not speculative bets, they are increasingly seen as stable investments that align with both climate targets and commercial returns. Institutional investors, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are actively building portfolios in this space. The environmental and social impact is important, but so are the financial fundamentals. These projects are producing returns, creating jobs and supporting energy independence. For UK founders, this means that if your product or service plays a role in supporting decarbonisation, energy efficiency or the broader clean economy, you are operating in a growth market. Capital is already flowing in, and demand is growing, so the moment to act is now. Public policy is creating new momentum In the UK, the alignment between policy goals and funding mechanisms is becoming stronger. The government's net zero strategy is backed by institutions like the UK Infrastructure Bank, and public-private partnerships are helping accelerate the delivery of climate-aligned infrastructure. This policy shift is opening new doors for founders. Businesses that help reduce emissions, digitise infrastructure, or create smarter, more sustainable systems can now find clearer routes to support. These may come in the form of grants, co-financing, tax incentives, or simply greater access to decision-makers focused on delivering impact at scale. It is rare to see this level of clarity between long-term policy goals and real-world investment tools. For entrepreneurs, especially those building in tech, sustainability, or infrastructure, this is a window worth paying attention to. You don't need to be in the energy sector to be part of this Some of the most promising innovation in clean energy is coming from outside the traditional power and utilities space. This is because clean energy is more than just generation and transmission, it includes everything from how buildings are heated and cooled, to how transport systems operate, to how supply chains are monitored. Founders in sectors like agriculture, logistics, retail and software are already creating tools that help track energy use, reduce emissions, or integrate renewable sources. It could be a data platform that helps companies report on their carbon footprint. It could be a startup working on smart insulation materials for homes, or it might be a digital service helping consumers manage their household energy use more effectively. The clean energy economy is broad, what matters most is that the solution addresses a real need, delivers measurable results, and can scale sustainably. The barriers to entry are lower than many assume, but the rewards for getting it right are growing every day. There is untapped opportunity in global partnerships One area that is often overlooked is the opportunity to scale internationally by supporting emerging markets. Countries with abundant renewable resources, like Mongolia, are increasingly looking to attract international expertise and capital to help build out their energy systems. This is where blended finance plays a key role, combining funding, concessional loans and commercial investment to reduce risk and get projects moving. UK-based founders with technical knowledge, digital solutions, or infrastructure experience are well placed to contribute to these efforts. These partnerships do take time and they require patience, cultural awareness and long-term commitment, but they also offer access to new markets and the chance to be involved with transformational projects on a global scale. Founders who are open to these kinds of collaborations often find that they can grow faster, diversify revenue streams, and play a leadership role in shaping how the global energy transition unfolds. Flexibility and resilience will carry you further than speed alone Clean energy is moving fast, but it is also complex. Technologies are constantly evolving, regulatory environments shift, and the needs of end users can change quickly. Founders who build their businesses around adaptability, rather than just speed, are far more likely to succeed. That means understanding that what works in one country may not work in another. It means designing solutions that can scale up or down depending on funding, policy or local infrastructure, and it means accepting that long-term value often comes from solving problems steadily and sustainably, not from rushing into markets without a clear plan. Resilience can be built into the core of a business. Whether through flexible financing structures, modular technology, or an agile operating model, founders who prepare for change will be better equipped to respond when challenges arise. This mindset, grounded in practical awareness and long-term thinking, is what sets resilient companies apart in the clean energy space. A final word for UK founders The global shift toward clean energy is one of the defining transformations of our time. It brings together climate action, economic opportunity, and international collaboration. For UK founders, there is a real chance to contribute to this transition in meaningful and commercially viable ways. You do not need to be an energy specialist to get involved. What matters is that your business is built to solve a real challenge, that it can evolve with the market, and that it aligns with the direction the world is already moving in. Clean energy is not just about emissions. It is about creating a fairer, more resilient, and more prosperous economy. Founders who recognise this will be better placed to lead in the years ahead, not just by building successful companies, but by building a better future too.

Countries Promise Trump to Buy U.S. Gas, and Leave the Details for Later
Trade negotiations have for years focused on the rules of the road for commerce between nations. Under President Trump, the deal making has been more direct, especially when it comes to energy. Countries are now agreeing to purchase American fossil fuels, in specific amounts and often years into the future, whether or not their economies will demand it or whether the United States will have the ability to supply it. That adds a layer of government sway over what are typically open market transactions. And it's not clear how — or whether — political leaders will get private companies to go along. 'This is new, and generally that's because in trade agreements you want things that are clear and enforceable,' said David Goldwyn, a former U.S. diplomat and U.S. Energy Department official. 'These energy commitments are neither clear nor necessarily enforceable. They're more aspirational, political encouragements.' The European Union, for example, committed to purchase $750 billion in U.S. energy products — including crude oil, nuclear reactor fuel, natural gas and other petroleum derivatives — over three years. On an annual basis, that would amount to more than three times the amount the bloc bought last year from the United States. Trump's deal with Europe The deal would require a huge jump in U.S. energy exports in the future. Note: Estimate based on the E.U.'s commitment to buy $750 billion in U.S. energy exports through 2028. Source: ClearView Energy Partners analysis of Census Bureau data By The New York Times The European Union has been buying more American gas since Russia, previously a big supplier, attacked Ukraine in 2022, and there is appetite to buy more. But purchasing $250 billion a year would require the bloc to use the United States as essentially its only supplier. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Inside Leeds United's Igor Paixao pain and where they go next
The sting in the tail of Leeds United's Igor Paixao pursuit left the club's hierarchy smarting. They were always dealing in hope rather than expectation with the Brazilian and the hammer blow eventually came on Monday afternoon. With 32 days of the transfer window remaining, the club have secured seven new faces and hope to add up to four more. The final quantity of incomings will be dictated by who leaves between now and September 1. Advertisement A full-back remains a possibility, especially if Swiss defender Isaac Schmidt is keen to leave for minutes before next summer's World Cup. A striker is a priority, while wingers and attacking midfielders are also on the agenda if the club's preferred options become available. The natural assumption, no doubt being made by much of the football world, is Leeds will now look to offer another €30million-plus for an alternative target out wide. Sources at Elland Road, speaking anonymously to protect relationships, have indicated it may not be as straightforward as that. The Athletic has been briefed on what went on with Paixao this week, what's next in the transfer window for the club, and what this knockback means for Leeds. The issue Leeds, and most clubs, face is finding players who will improve their squad, be willing to join and be available at the right price. The club's hierarchy knows this is not what supporters will want to read, but this is the state of play. Of the wingers who are better than Daniel James, Wilfried Gnonto, Jack Harrison and Largie Ramazani, United's key decision-makers do not think there are many available to them. There are some, like Paixao, and irons remain in the fire with them, but Leeds do not expect it will be easy to find as perfect a target as the Feyenoord 25-year-old. They liked his ability to create his own chances, his age, his experience, his resale potential, his finishing and his set-piece deliveries. They also had to wait months for his wage demands to fall into their range because he was someone United considered beyond them as the close season approached. Manager Daniel Farke will certainly not say no to differential players, as United's hierarchy call Paixao and others. They could be the difference between staying up and going down. Striker Rodrigo Muniz could be one such player. It has been known for a long time he is the club's key target at the tip of the attack, but as August arrives, urgency is increasing. Leeds know they can only be so patient, with a strong start to the league campaign a necessity to retain last season's momentum. There will be alternatives to Muniz on United's radar, but the decision they make on how long to wait for Fulham's forward before chasing someone else may be one of the biggest they make in August. Advertisement Senior Leeds sources know that window is shrinking and, with the Paixao deal dead in the water, there is a sense the striker chase is where energy will now focus. Schmidt's loan exit, as he himself knows from last August, is a deal Leeds know they can do late in the window if necessary. Another full-back has to be added before the Swiss is allowed to go. As for further attacking reinforcements, there are bound to be Premier League loan options that could appeal as August rolls on, among more expensive permanent targets. Paixao proved to be the first, at least public, blow of the summer. Anyone who watched highlight reels of the 25-year-old would have been unable to fight the Raphinha comparisons. Excitement was inevitable as Leeds made progress with the deal. Chairman Paraag Marathe, managing director Robbie Evans, sporting director Adam Underwood and head of recruitment Alex Davies had assumed he would be beyond Leeds in the early stages of the window. However, in the past fortnight, they found his wage demands began to drop and Marseille were, evidently, failing to get their deal done quickly. Leeds sources say the club had received emails from Feyenoord and Paixao's representatives suggesting respective terms had been agreed. The former landed with United shortly before half-time in Saturday's friendly win over Paderborn. Even at that stage, with all three parties seemingly in agreement, Underwood was understood to never feel comfortable about it being a done deal. There was a niggling feeling Marseille's European offering was always what Paixao and his family wanted. On Sunday, Marathe, Evans and Underwood all held long calls with the player and his representatives. Farke spoke to Paixao too. Those calls from the manager are normally a sign of how advanced negotiations have become. Even Lucas Perri, United's newest Brazilian of barely 48 hours standing, was on the phone to his compatriot in the dead of the German night on Sunday to convince him of the switch. Advertisement By Monday, things had gone quiet at the player's end and Leeds began to read the writing on the wall. Their €32million offer, with €3million in add-ons, was good enough, but it seems Marseille eventually got close enough to that for Feyenoord to give them the green light too. Leeds cannot afford for next May's reflections to be focused on the star player they needed but didn't get this summer. There's one month to go, but only 18 days until three points are on the line against Everton. (Top photos: Getty Images)
