Dark/Light Mode (19/06/23)  Minor will expand its Tivoli brand of hotels and resorts to Italy later this month, with the opening of the five-star Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Resort near Trieste, in northern Italy.

Tivoli Portopiccolo Sistiana Resort, a former member of the Marriott Luxury Collection, is part of the Portopiccolo complex owned by the “Porto Piccolo Fund”, managed by Investire SGR (Group Banca Finnat), a leading independent Italian asset management company.

Located in the beautiful Duino Cliffs Nature Reserve on the Gulf of Trieste, the property is within a 20 minutes’ drive of Trieste Airport and features 58 guest rooms and 73 branded apartments.

The mixed-use development of Portopiccolo overlooks the Adriatic Sea, with its beautiful turquoise waters and a luxury marina.

In addition to several accommodation options, the Portopiccolo complex offers hotel guests a variety of facilities including four restaurants and two bars with many dining options, six swimming pools, a beach club with three different areas, an in-hotel wellness and fitness centre, and a 3,600 sqm spa that include 8 treatment rooms, an outdoor and an indoor pool, saunas and steam rooms.

Tivoli Portopiccolo also offers 1,200 sqm of meeting space, with state-of-the-art technology and spread between the hotel premises and the Pavillion, located near the beach.

“We’re very proud to announce the reopening of the hotel under the Tivoli brand, it will bring a meaningful contribution to the valorisation of the complex,” said Federico Velluti, Head of Hospitality and Alternative Markets at Investire SGR. “This collaboration reflects our ambitions for Portopiccolo and we believe that the partnership with Minor Hotels will be able to create a new world-renowned destination that celebrates luxury in a stunning location surrounded by nature.”

With this upcoming debut in Italy, Tivoli continues its expansion in Europe where it recently added a property in Amsterdam, an all-inclusive resort in Alvor in the Algarve, and will soon launch in Tenerife in Spain.

In addition, the brand made its Asia debut in 2022 with the launch of Tivoli Chengdu at Cultural Heritage Park in China and is expanding its footprint in the Middle East, where Minor Hotels currently operates three Tivoli properties in Qatar, with two further new-build properties under development in Bahrain to launch in 2025 and in Muscat, Oman, slated to open in 2026.

“We are delighted to announce this exciting addition to the Tivoli portfolio and the brand’s debut in Italy,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO Minor International and CEO Minor Hotels. “With a beautiful location on the Adriatic Coast, this property will offer exceptional facilities to both business and leisure guests, with a world-class marina on its doorstep and easy access to the great cultural attractions that northern Italy has to offer. We look forward to working with the team at Investire to bring this property to fruition.”
