  "account": "Roma will welcome its second Kimpton hotel in Italy, set to open in 2029. The new property will be located in the heart of the capital, on Via Veneto, and will be the third IHG property in the area. The building chosen for the project is owned by Rome Hotel Development Fund, a fund managed by Castello Sgr, with 1AM Rome Prime Real Estate Development Fund as its sole investor. The project will transform an existing building into a luxury lifestyle destination, featuring 114 rooms, a rooftop bar, restaurant, indoor courtyard, wellness area, and meeting/event spaces. A key feature of the hotel will be the restoration and enhancement of an existing theater, which will be converted into a multifunctional space for art and events, creating a unique cultural and social hub for both guests and local residents. This agreement marks another step in IHG's expansion in Italy, following the recent milestone of over 50 properties opened and in pipeline. The new hotel will bolster IHG's Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in Rome, joining nine existing structures, including InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace and Six Senses Rome, along with the upcoming Hotel Alexandra Rome and Vignette Collection. Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe of IHG Hotels & Resorts, noted that Rome remains one of Europe's most attractive luxury destinations, combining international appeal, rich cultural heritage, and a growing hospitality demand. She added that Italy is a priority market for IHG, which has seen extraordinary growth in recent years. The capital's privileged location, distinctive design vision, and innovative theater concept will bring a new Luxury & Lifestyle offering to Rome, reflecting the brand's individuality and local character known worldwide. The hotel will be Kimpton's second property in Italy, following Kimpton Villa Miramare Taormina, and will complement the group's 14 Luxury & Lifestyle hotels in Europe and six under construction. The agreement also reinforces IHG's growing presence in Italy, with the company currently operating 33 hotels and having 21 more in the pipeline. Giampiero Schiavo, CEO of Castello SGR, highlighted Castello Sgr's focus on iconic properties and creating experiential destinations for a discerning, growing international clientele. In this regard, Rome represents a unique destination, undergoing a profound renewal of its high-end hospitality offering and still presenting significant opportunities for distinctive and innovative projects that can generate long-term value for investors.",
