Statuto owns a number of high-end assets in Europe, including the Four Seasons in Milan and The W in Ibiza and the Danieli Hotel in Venice.
Coldwell Banker Commercial Italy advised Statuto on the transaction
Hospitality Investor has approached Gruppo Statuto and Orion Capital for comment.
What they said
Leonardo Stassi, head of hospitality at Coldwell Banker Commercial Italy said: "Rome is a market that everyone fears is becoming oversupplied in the luxury segment. But luxury hotels have the ability to grow in value and mirror what happens in terms of inflationary growth. This is an example of how you can create value through luxury branding and it creates a new perspective as to what value really unique and special hotels can have to a certain type of buyer. And here is someone who has a vision about luxury brands in general and is collecting these very special hotels into one really big and unique portfolio."
