Italy’s hospitality sector is in a sustained growth phase, with the country consolidating a leading position in global luxury tourism as 2026 unfolds. Improved debt market conditions and resilient equity markets are supporting strong investor confidence, particularly in Rome and Milan.

This conversion opportunity is exactly where serious capital is focusing right now. Our recent report on the sector’s latest gathering offers a live example of investor appetite at this summit.
