Hilton is ramping up its Italian expansion with three new signings under its Curio Collection by Hilton brand, bringing high-end hospitality to Genoa, Sorrento and Milan.
The announcement marks Hilton’s first property in Genoa, further growth in Milan, and a new jewel on the Amalfi Coast — cementing the group’s ambition to grow its Italian portfolio, which already includes more than 100 trading or pipeline hotels.
Alan Mantin, Hilton’s vice president of development for Southern Europe, said: “We are thrilled to expand our presence in Italy with three new Curio Collection properties, including Hilton’s first hotel in Genova and further growth in Milan and Sorrento. Each hotel embodies the Curio Collection ethos, featuring individually remarkable hotels in the world’s most sought-after destinations.”
Grand Hotel Savoia, Genoa
The first to open will be the Grand Hotel Savoia Genova, Curio Collection by Hilton, scheduled for December 2025. Originally opened in 1897 to host royal families embarking on transatlantic voyages, the Belle Époque landmark will offer 117 rooms infused with Genoa’s maritime heritage.
Guests can expect a restaurant, rooftop lounge, ballroom and wellness centre, alongside prime transport links with the Piazza Principe station directly opposite, connecting Milan in just 90 minutes.
Majestic Palace, Sorrento
Due in spring 2027, the Majestic Palace Sorrento, Curio Collection by Hilton will feature Michelin-starred Don Geppi restaurant and the renowned Dry Martini rooftop bar. Every one of its 75 rooms will boast a private balcony overlooking either gardens of orange and olive trees or the shimmering coast just 400 metres away.
Amenities include a pool, spa, and hammam, while its Sant’Agnello location offers easy access to Capri, Naples, Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.
Cadorna Hotel, Milan
Opening in January 2028, the Cadorna Hotel Milan, Curio Collection by Hilton will bring over 120 rooms to a historic early-20th-century building on Piazzale Luigi Cadorna. Just steps from Milan’s central attractions — including the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — the hotel will cater to both leisure and business travellers.
Guests will also enjoy direct access to Milano Cadorna station, linking them to wider Italy via train and metro.
The three Italian hotels form part of a broader European growth push for the Curio Collection, with forthcoming openings in Cappadocia, Eindhoven and San Sebastian, and recent launches such as the Palacio de Godoy in Cáceres.
