Italy’s Gruppo della Frera has acquired the entire share capital of Venezia Capitol, which owns the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in Venezia Mestre, for over €20 mln.
The investment was entirely supported with equity and marks the first step in the group's development in the Veneto region, where it was not yet present.
The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel consists of 136 rooms, a restaurant, a swimming pool and a large spa. It boasts a solid market performance with turnover exceeding €7.5 mln and over 40 employees.
The Gruppo Della Frera will maintain the current organization of the company, headed by the CEO Lucia Ercolano and the management of the hotel entrusted to Michela Murara.
Guido Della Frera, president and CEO of Gruppo Della Frera and the new legal representative of Venezia Capitol, said: ‘We are happy with this first acquisition in Veneto. A wonderful hotel that has been producing excellent results for years with over 80% occupancy, an important hotel resource in the Lagoon. This significant acquisition adds to the recent opening, following renovation, of the Hilton Garden Inn in Somma Lombardo Malpensa, demonstrating a brilliant 2024 semester for our group and the sector.’
The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is located on the mainland near the Parco San Giuliano, within 8 kilometers of Marco Polo Airport and the cruise terminal, while the Old City is about 15 minutes away by car or bus.
