Acquisition of Hotel - Florence 70%EBITDA Margin

Hotel is a newly launched real estate and hospitality venture backed by an Italian group with over 20 years of experience in real estate development, asset management, and structured operations across the country.

We are currently raising €1.5 million in equity to finance the acquisition, renovation, and relaunch of a 2-star hotel located in the historic center of Florence, one of the most visited cities in Europe. The target property is already operational and generates stable revenues. We are in advanced negotiations for its purchase.

The Opportunity
Our strategy is to fully renovate the structure and reposition it as a tech-enabled, keyless hospitality solution, increasing both the asset value and operational margins. This model eliminates front-desk staff and significantly reduces fixed costs, while enhancing guest experience and scalability.

We operate at the intersection of real estate value creation and operational excellence, capturing upside both from the appreciation of the property and from high-margin hospitality management.

Why This Works

Our in-house team includes seasoned professionals in hospitality, real estate, finance, and operations.

We have secured a leading architectural studio and a trusted construction company with proven experience in hotel renovations in historic centers.

Institutional Framework: We are finalizing partnerships with several licensed Italian investment firms (SIM) to support equity placement and manage future rounds with transparency and compliance.

Exit Strategy: Within 7-9 years, we plan either a portfolio sale or refinance to return capital and unlock value, offering investors attractive liquidity paths.
