With the Marriott Group's new 5-star hotel in Verona moving ahead – news that has been in the air for a couple of years now - the project has accelerated dramatically in recent weeks, after Verona's city council approved the change of use from office to tourism receptive and commercial, of the so-called Quadrilatero on 21 April.
This is the name of the buildings owned by the German company Patrizia Immobilien that are located between the Arena city’s Via Garibaldi, Via Emilei, Via San Mamaso and Via Sant'Egidio downtown streets.
Maybe a Marriott Tribute?
The authorization has therefore started with the official filing of the project, which envisages, among other things, the construction of a five-star hotel for a total investment of around €80 million. It is being bandied about that the property will become a Marriott Group Tribute brand. To manage it, again according to various sources, the choice should fall on Cristina Pani's white label company Lhm. The plan also includes a series of shops, restaurants and new areas for public use.
