Accor Expands in Europe with Three New Hotels in Italy

Emblems Collection, part of the Accor group, has signed three exceptional properties that will join the luxury brand in 2026, marking a major step in its development in Italy and expansion in Europe.

The three new hotel addresses embody the essence of Emblems: when luxury meets intimacy, through singular design, rich storytelling, and a profound sense of place.

Three emblematic properties in Tuscany, Umbria, and Apulia

In the very heart of Siena, Palazzo Sozzini Malavolti, Emblems Collection will open its doors mid-2026. Just steps from Piazza del Campo, this historic palazzo brings new life to a noble 38-key residence steeped in centuries of art and architecture.

Hidden gardens, ancient caves, and original 19th-century frescoes evoke a world where time seems to stand still. With a serene spa and interiors that celebrate Tuscany's timeless craftsmanship, the property invites guests to inhabit a true piece of Siena's soul.

In Umbria, Relais San Clemente, Emblems Collection will be reborn mid-2026 as a 51-key estate with nine private villas, expansive wellness offerings and an atmosphere deeply rooted in the region's spiritual and natural rhythms.

Once a Benedictine convent, the retreat is nestled in a 40-hectare park of century-old trees near Perugia, where silence, design, and sacred heritage come together in harmony. A consecrated chapel dedicated to San Clemente stands at its heart, infusing the entire property with a sense of soul and stillness — an intimate sanctuary woven with meaning.

In the south of Italy in Apulia, Masseria Furnirussi, Emblems Collection will join the Collection mid-2026, offering 60 suites — with a majority featuring private pools — alongside a full spa and authentic experiences celebrating Mediterranean craftsmanship and lifestyle.

Set within the largest fig orchard in Europe, this refined Masseria reimagines traditional Salento architecture in local white stone, surrounded by a living garden of fruit trees, herbs, and native botanicals. Here, nature and design harmonize to create a sanctuary where silence and simplicity reveal the true beauty of the land.

This triple signature brings Emblems Collection's Italian portfolio to four distinctive properties and expands the brand's global pipeline to seven announced handpicked hotels.

Other upcoming destinations include Elatos Resort, Emblems Collection in Greece, Hotel Bellevue Cortina d'Ampezzo, Emblems Collection in Italy, Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection in the UK, and Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection in Canada. Each new address reaffirms the brand's ambition to craft truly singular experiences through a refined, boutique lens.
