A review of the Baglioni Hotels and their Official Website
Every single day brings new choices and therefore new roads to follow in the search of discovery, education and teaching. Roads that go in the direction of growth and sharing.
When Roberto Polito opened his first hotel in Tuscany, it was simply a new path that he had chosen to take, a bit of an adventure and fun. It was only after opening hotel after hotel and all their associated problems and successes that he began to understand he was heading down a longer and more satisfying path. Every smile from the hotel staff highlighted the achievements and diminished the defeats that over time have taught Roberto and his staff different and new ways of dealing with challenges every day.
Roberto's family, who have supported him throughout this project, and Roberto have never stopped. The project is not only about hotels but objective ambitions and unstoppable passion.
The Baglioni hotels are like their home, elegant but welcoming and lively; at the hotels you can find people who together with their guests are looking for experiences worth a long journey. By taking a photo, that moment is captured and recorded to memory.
This is the path of the Baglioni Hotels, this is what Baglioni Luxury Hotels in Italy wants to be; this is reflected in the hotels' refined atmosphere accompanied by an understated eye to detail, in every little thoughtful gesture, in each step that has led them to become a group of 14 hotels. A little dream has become an impressive reality.
Brand History
"luxury with an italian touch, the essence of Baglioni Hotels"
It all began in 1973 when Roberto Polito bought his first property in Tuscany, the Hotel Cala del Porto at Punta Ala. Roberto Polito is an enthusiatic entrepreneur as well as a sophisticated connoisseur whose love for quality is shown by his elegant and warm hospitality.
Baglioni Hotels boasts 14 hotels, four of which have been classed "Leading Hotel of the World" and amongst the most enchanting are the Relais Châteaux in France. They can be found in the most exclusive and attractive destinations: Via Veneto in Rome, Via della Spiga in Milan, a stone's throw from St Mark's Square in Venice, behind Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Piazza Indipendenza in Bologna or in the heart of London close to Kensington Palace and with views of Hyde Park.
Baglioni Hotels: a Way of Life
The Baglioni Italian style is based on its love of art, culture, music, good food and excellent wines and are all accompanied by a warm and friendly welcome.
This philosophy of life represents the concept of luxury provided by Baglioni Hotels... luxury experienced through living and not just 'appearance'. It is about finding 'true' beauty, appreciating real personal experiences and enhancing knowledge of places already visited and those newly discovered.
The love of beautiful things and being happy either on a business trip or holiday: that's the Italian way; 'uno stile di vita' as they like to say at Baglioni.
Warmth and Hospitality
Staying at Baglioni is a bit like staying in an Italian home where you cannot wait to welcome your friends! A great deal of preparation before guests arrive and every detail right down to each guest's personal tastes is noted. These are people who share the desire to be surrounded by a welcoming place where tranquillity and beauty play an important role.
The management and staff are extremely professional and dedicated to providing attentive personal service which is both tailored to individual guest needs and respectful of the differences in culture.
For example, the sumptuous Italian cuisine in Baglioni's restaurants is complimented with dishes for guests with very different tastes from Asia and the Middle East.
The Next Generation
In 2004, Baglioni opened a new contemporary style of hotel in London which has received high praise from a very discerning clientele.
This high fashion design concept has been developed and launched by Guido Polito and Luca Magni, the next generation of the Baglioni family. Guido Polito is Vice President whose responsibilities lie in supervising the level of quality and the way in which the hotel operates. Luca Magni is Vice President and he is responsible for developing the Baglioni brand as well as Sales and Marketing.
And it does not end there... there are plans to open more hotels in other international cities over the next two years.
Baglioni Hotels have receveid many awards: You can read more about the awards the Baglioni Hotels has received at the official website.
"Uno Stile di Vita"
'Luxury'... everyone dreams of it; luxury... for us and the people close to us, friends and family. "How" to live the dream is, however, another matter. If the desire for special experiences has stayed the same over time, one has to bear in mind that the idea of luxury has profoundly changed over the last few years.
In the past, luxury was something tangible, related to expensive objects and the pleasure of showing them off to others. Even where to go on holiday or which hotel to stay in was based on the "wow" factor of the place or name, indirectly sending the right message out to others. Behind all the importance of impressing others, people perhaps forgot to think of themselves and do the things that they really felt deeply about.
Gone are the days where being privileged meant refinement and possessions. Instead now it focuses on the importance of feeling. Today luxury is about finding 'true' beauty and appreciating real personal experiences.
This is the spirit of Baglioni Hotels: meaningful experiences and love, elegance, welcoming, discretion, warmth, care, understanding and the personal touch.
All this comes from true professionalism and passion. It is luxury with an Italian touch and a smile.
