History is at home at THI, by now it‘s clear. From history with a capital “H” to what we might call “minor history”, that evokes moments, aspects, notables and traditions of the cities where the Company is present.
Handing down even only fragments of them, bringing their atmospheres and the charm of their settings back to life while still respecting their origins is one of our strong points. And our ambition… A fine thread that shapes the work of the last few years and that unites, in an extraordinary map of hospitality, facilities, many of them “pillars” of the Associazione dei Locali Storici d’Italia, that have made the Italian tourism tradition great.
A subtle link that, in these remaining months of 2007, ideally unites the istorante del Cambio, a bastion of Turin culture at whose tables the Risorgimento was mapped out, now at its 250th year in activity; and the Bentley Hotel of Genoa, which will give back to Liguria’s capital the shine of high-end hospitality. A hotel that is new but, like Turin’s Golden Palace, it comes from an illustrious past, in this case linked to Ilva.
A highly personal interpretation of the duo “tradition and innovation”. With style, restraint and, especially, concreteness.
