For Autentico Hospitality, the pandemic is firmly behind them as they focus on 2023, and year-on-year comparisons rather than using 2019 as a benchmark.
Autentico Hospitality’s bookings are in line with 2022
“2022 was a record year for us – says the CEO of the Florentine company, Mario Cardone . - Especially in the high-end segment, thanks in particular to the return of American visitors. And the forecasts for 2023 also seem to be positive: “Inflation-related fears seem to have abated and bookings are substantially in line with those of the same period last year,” he says.
"5-star family-run establishments, because this is in our DNA."
Autentico Hotels, the luxury brand of Autentico Hospitality, has two new entries: the 5-star Palazzo Ripetta which reopened in Rome last December after renovations, and the Sardinian Le Dune Piscinas, a 28-room property directly on the beach. With the two new entries, the collection has a total of 16 hotels: "All 5-star, family-run establishments, because this is in our DNA."
The Prestige Collection also has villas, mansions and farms
The Prestige Collection, on the other hand, has eighteen hotels. Launched a couple of years ago, it brings together 4 and 5-star properties, as well as upmarket non-hotel accommodation such as villas, mansions and farms. Here, there are also a couple of new entries: the Roman all-suite Le Reve de Naim in Piazza di Spagna, and the 4-star Vannucci in Città della Pieve, owned by the Wirth family, which also owns the Hassler Hotel in Rome.
“Each year we meet over a thousand agencies and tour operators globally”
“The mission of our group – concludes Cardone – is to act as accelerators on the medium-high market, which has a potential equal to at least 25% of the total turnover of the properties with which we collaborate. For this, through a series of targeted actions, each year we meet over a thousand agencies and tour operators globally."
