Lombardini22 will oversee the renovation of the Grand Hotel San Pellegrino

The Grand Hotel San Pellegrino, the iconic building nestled in the panorama of the Orobian Pre-Alps in the town of the same name, home to an important thermal spring, will return to its former glory, to when the structure was a landmark for the European elite at the beginning of the 20th century.

After a wait of more than 40 years, the Grand Hotel will once again shine: in 2024, the building was granted to the American company EKN Development, a developer of high-value luxury destinations and high-selectivity markets, recognised for its ability to push the boundaries of convention to offer unparalleled experiences to the guests of its facilities.

In this operation, Lombardini22 will be working alongside EKN Development, developing the feasibility project to be able to reopen the structure for hospitality purposes.
"The Grand Hotel San Pellegrino," said Ebrahim Nakhjavani, founder and ceo of EKN Development, "is an extraordinary historical heritage, and represents the first of many projects that EKN will undertake in Italy. It deserves the utmost care and attention, and with Lombardini22 we are confident that this project will be carried forward with excellence and vision.

The objective is the construction of about 120 rooms and the redevelopment of the common areas, with the creation of a spa and an outdoor swimming pool facility, as well as spaces dedicated to catering services. An operation that will require a surgical study of the existing plant structure and a holistic approach to the project.

"The feasibility project for the Grand Hotel San Pellegrino Terme," added Alessandra Magri, director Hospitality of Lombardini22, "gives us the opportunity to rediscover the canons of luxury and elegance of the past and to reinterpret them in a modern key, thus contributing to enhancing part of our country's historical heritage. This phase aims to shape thedesign brief into a concrete vision: a targeted analysis of technical, administrative and economic aspects that guarantees solid foundations for bringing this imposing jewel from the early 1900s back to life.
