“We invested in this great Italian collection for many reasons, starting with the kindness and great execution ability of its staff both in and out of the hotels, and it will be a pleasure to keep collaborating with our new partner and CEO, Guido Polito, who has taken the group to worldwide recognition with the Italian spirit in every detail of the guests’ experience.”

Baglioni Hotels & Resorts CEO Guido Polito, who led the expansion of the group’s brands in Europe, Asia and Middle East, will continue to serve in the same position.
