On 7 September 2020, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of the Boscolo Hotels Group, which runs eight luxury hotels in prime areas of Rome. Florence, Venice, Prague, Nice and Budapest. The Group operates through the following companies:

    • Hungarian Opco New York Palace K.F.T.
    • Italian OpCo Roco Hospitality Group, S.R.L.
    • Czech Opco AGAGA, s.r.o.

The hotels are run under the variable rent with a guaranteed minimum system.
