Hotel consulting in Florence
In Florence the historic centre is on the UNESCO list and the rules on building work are strict. If you have a hotel or a project in the city or the countryside around it, we start from what the place allows.
What Florence asks of a hotel.
Few new rooms in the centre, strong international demand, and villas and estates in the hills. Guests come for the art, the wine and the food, and expect a hotel that is part of it.
The historic centre
Protections on buildings and conversions make openings rare and slow.
Villas and estates
The Chianti hills offer conversions with their own season and their own guests.
Wine and food
The restaurant and the cellar are part of the reason for the trip.
Craft
Guests look for a hotel that speaks of the city: materials, workshops, people.
How we work in Florence.
Three ways to work with us, from Milan and on site when it's needed. The price is written down before we start.
Profit Performance
For a hotel that is already open: the distance between what it produces today and what it could produce. It starts with the first free analysis; the diagnostic starts from €1,500.
Staff training
One person at a time, at the property during service or online, on the situations of their own shift. From €275 per person.
Feasibility studies
For a project that doesn't exist yet: whether it earns, and on what conditions, before the money is spent. From the €499 market assessment to the full study.
Before we start.

How do you follow a hotel or a project in Florence from Milan?
The work is led from Milan, with online sessions on fixed dates and written deliverables. We travel for the steps where being there changes the result: a site visit, a meeting with the owners, a negotiation with an operator. We reply within one business day.
Where do we start?
With the first free analysis: an hour online with a senior consultant, on what you need to decide. If the hotel is open, we look at where it is losing revenue; if the project is still to be built, at which level of study is enough to answer.
Do you work in a hotel in Florence?
The masterclasses are filmed inside working luxury hotels and taught by the people who run each department. Career Mentoring helps you work out what separates you from your next role, in another country too.
