Unique locations in harmony with the surrounding areas, the blend of traditional design with dramatic contemporary Italian architecture by the architectural firm ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and superior service crafted with the same attention to quality that has always distinguished Bvlgari creations. These are the key elements that characterize the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection. For all the hotels, the approach is the same: the design of the interiors is strongly rooted in the traditions of the place, and careful attention is paid to every detail in a tribute to absolute luxury.
The Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection features the distinctive, bold Italian style typical of Bvlgari, reflected in its unique design, its contemporary Italian cuisine, and its lavish spas. It conveys the
excitement of the Bvlgari brand, its timeless glamour, and its magnificent Italian jewelry heritage. Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection includes properties in Milan, London, Bali, Beijing, Dubai, Shanghai, Paris and the recently added ones in Rome and Tokyo. Three additional hotels are coming soon to Miami, Bodrum, Maldives, between 2025 and 2027.
