Our experience in the hospitality and meetings sector dates back more than fifty years

Our group is constantly striving to offer hospitality services of the highest quality, something distinctive that sets us apart from the rest: every business choice is aimed at enhancing social and environmental responsibility.

The awareness-raising initiatives that we put in place every day were rewarded in 2012 with a World Travel Market Global Award for Innovation & Creativity.

The Royal Group is made up of a dedicated team of young professionals who work hard every day to maintain the practices of social innovation and to transform their hotels' lobbies and common areas into places to congregate, even for those who are not on holiday.

Our idea of ​​a hotel is a meeting point for local citizens, i.e. an active and vibrant part of the city.
