“We need to reach a certain critical mass, of five to seven hotels”
The group started as a real estate company with a strong hospitality vocation, will manage the hotel directly, and the development will go towards fulfilling the brands hotel project. “At the moment we directly manage Room of Andrea in Trapani, a 60-room hotel in Val d'Erice and the 90-room Viareggio Hotel in Tuscany – continues Lo Faso - we need to reach a certain critical mass, estimated to be five to seven hotels.”
Covid has changed work practices
Ambitious projects, which are also based on a decidedly positive season, which saw urban hotels register important numbers. “We can no longer speak of a bubble, but of a phenomenon destined to last over time, capable of supporting average rates and employment, – says Lo Faso. - Covid has not only changed consumer priorities but also work practices, today people are often able to work wherever they are. And all this is having more than positive repercussions on the entire hotel industry."
