Openings Desk
Alessandro Conti
Alessandro Conti is based in Rome and covers hotel openings for Luxury.it, from Italy and the Alps to the rest of Europe: who is building, who is reopening, and which addresses will matter next season. He is drawn to buildings with a past, the convents, palazzi, customs houses and railway hotels brought back into use, and to the small openings that quietly turn a town into a destination. He reads a hotel by its floor plan, its staff-to-room ratio and its breakfast.
