Benchmark for luxury

Upon completion in late 2026, Baccarat Hotel Rome will be an 87-key property containing suites, a terraced restaurant and a rooftop bar/lounge with panoramic views of the city. 

The financing will support the redevelopment of the hotel, which will introduce the Baccarat Hotels & Resorts brand to Rome’s high-end hospitality market.

The landmark property, originally opened in 1889, is undergoing a comprehensive refurbishment and is expected to reach completion by late 2026.

Construction on the property is already underway.

Invel adds more keys

Invel is an independent private equity real estate firm founded in 2013, currently managing 3.7 billion euros of assets. 

The firm has a proven track record in the hospitality sector, with approximately 2,000 keys under management across the Mediterranean through its vertically integrated operating platform specializing in upscale hospitality.

Baccarat Hotels & Resorts, operated by SH Hotels & Resorts (soon to be Starwood Hotels), will be arriving in Rome following a successful brand debut in New York.

“This transaction exemplifies Invel’s ability to finance best-in-class real estate assets in Southern Europe’s most sought-after locations,” said Gabriele Magotti, Chief Investment Officer of Invel Real Estate. 

“Baccarat Hotel Rome combines an unbeatable location, an iconic brand, and an exceptional design concept, making it one of the most compelling luxury hospitality investments in the region. We are proud to support this transformation and confident in the long-term value creation it will deliver.”
