As the luxury travel industry evolves, Italy continues to lead with grace and distinction. In the second half of 2025, a wave of high-end hotel openings promises to redefine elegance and exclusivity. These properties go beyond accommodation—they offer immersive, unforgettable experiences shaped by design, heritage, and a strong sense of place.
Below is luxury.it’s curated selection of the most anticipated hotel openings across Italy from June 2025 onward.
Villa Beatrice, Portofino – Belmond’s Most Private Luxury Yet
Opening in July 2025, Villa Beatrice brings Belmond’s signature elegance to new heights. The villa stands above Paraggi Bay, offering both seclusion and sweeping views of the Ligurian coastline.
Formerly known as Castello Odero, this historic estate has undergone a meticulous restoration. It features antique details, wide sea-facing terraces, and interiors that celebrate Italian craftsmanship.
For the first time, Belmond adds a private villa to its portfolio. Guests can enjoy tailor-made services, private dining, and curated excursions—all while maintaining exclusive access to the nearby Splendido Hotel, which recently completed a major renovation.
Thanks to its privileged location on Punta Caiega, Villa Beatrice promises tranquility, intimacy, and sunsets that feel like art. It isn’t just a destination; it’s a chapter in Liguria’s luxury legacy.
Vista Ostuni – Puglia’s Grand Architectural Revival
Scheduled to open in summer 2025, Vista Ostuni will elevate southern Italy’s hotel scene. Located just outside the White City, the property lies amid centuries-old olive groves.
It occupies a restored 14th-century tobacco factory, blending historic integrity with modern design. Architect Roberto Murgia’s RMA Studio led the transformation, using arches, light, and scale to evoke the region’s timeless spirit.
The hotel offers 28 refined rooms and suites, three pools, a panoramic rooftop bar, and a cutting-edge spa. Two restaurants, under Michelin-starred chef Andrea Berton, highlight local ingredients with contemporary flair.
As part of The Leading Hotels of the World, Vista Ostuni is poised to become a landmark of elegance in Puglia.
Corinthia Rome – Where Heritage Meets Haute Hospitality
Set to open in autumn 2025, Corinthia Rome blends legacy and luxury in the heart of the capital. Located on Piazza del Parlamento, the hotel takes over the former Bank of Italy—a building steeped in history.
Inside, 60 rooms and suites await. Highlights include the panoramic Aurea Penthouse and the classically inspired Theodoli Suite. Unlike many hotels, this one offers a subterranean spa with two serene pools.
Chef Carlo Cracco directs the culinary offerings, which include a fine dining restaurant and a more relaxed Italian bistro. The internal courtyard, perfect for aperitivo, completes the refined Roman experience.
W Florence – Urban Glamour with Tuscan Soul
Expected to open by the end of 2025, W Florence introduces bold luxury to the heart of Tuscany. Situated between Via de’ Tornabuoni and the Duomo, the location puts guests at the center of Florence’s vibrant cultural life.
The hotel will feature 119 rooms, 16 suites, and a rooftop garden with panoramic views of Santa Maria Novella. Guests can enjoy music events and crafted cocktails at the W Lounge, while the penthouse suite offers a private skyline terrace.
Blending indoor and outdoor spaces, the hotel reflects Florence’s artistic energy while embracing its urban future.
Residenza del Cardinale, Milan – Refined Intimacy in the Fashion Capital
Planned for late 2025, Residenza del Cardinale will join Meliá Collection’s prestigious boutique lineup. Positioned between the Duomo and Brera, the hotel offers an elegant retreat in the heart of Milan.
Unlike larger properties, this one focuses on privacy, design, and cultural immersion. Each room will provide a quiet haven, while curated experiences introduce guests to the city’s lesser-known stories and landmarks.
Although many details remain discreet, the hotel promises understated glamour and a strong connection to Milanese style.
The Carlton, Milan – Rocco Forte’s Grand Comeback
Scheduled for an autumn 2025 debut, The Carlton marks Rocco Forte’s return to Milan. Located in the iconic Quadrilatero della Moda, the hotel is undergoing a stylish renovation.
Olga Polizzi leads the design, joined by Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen. Their collaborative vision combines classic Milanese elegance with contemporary warmth.
The Carlton will offer 70 rooms and suites, a panoramic rooftop bar, a luxury spa, and refined culinary concepts. Thanks to its intimate scale and prime location, the hotel is set to become a magnet for global travelers with a taste for quiet prestige.
