The NH Collection brand will make its debut in the Alps in March with the Mirtillo Rosso in Alagna Valsesia, at the foot of Monte Rosa in the Alps.
The hotel is in the Monte Rosa ski area
The property was inaugurated in 2016 by the Ponti family as a family hotel and has until now been managed by Mirtillo Rosso srl, with 50% each controlled by managing director Stefano Cerutti and Lara Ponti. The hotel is located a few minutes from the Alagna cable car which leads to the Monte Rosa Ski area that connects three valleys, Valsesia, Gressoney and Champoluc, and with 93 miles of slopes in Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. 
Adults-only and family areas
The hotel has 56 rooms and a wellness centre with a spa, equipped with an adults-only area, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a salt pool for buoyancy therapy, hydro-massage, two saunas, a Turkish bath, sensory showers and four treatment rooms. In addition, there is a 400-sqm family area with an indoor and outdoor pool, and guests can enjoy the large garden, which has a children's play area and sun loungers while the restaurant offers the possibility of full board or à la carte menus.
The NH Collection has 17 hotels in Italy
“Joining such an important international group is an opportunity for development, but also a recognition of the value and beauty of this side of Monte Rosa,” says Lara Ponti, who is the owner of the hotel. This acquisition boosts the portfolio of the NH Collection brand, which is present in Italy with 17 hotels in cities like Rome, Milan, Florence, Venice, Taormina, Genoa, Verona and Turin. The brand is already active in Piedmont, with the NH Collection Torino Piazza Carlina and the NH Collection Torino Santo Stefano in Turin. In total the Minor Hotels Europe & Americas group, to which the brand belongs, has 60 hotels in Italy, under the Anantara, Tivoli, Avani, nhow, NH and NH Collection brands.
