Accor, a global leader in hospitality, is proud to announce the signing of Sofitel Genoa Waterfront, a landmark new luxury hotel set to open in 2027 on the city’s waterfront. Developed in partnership with AG Group, Italy’s leading integrated tourism operator, Sofitel Genoa Waterfront will bring French art de vivre to one of Italy’s most storied port cities. With 120 guestrooms, including 20 suites, Sofitel Genoa Waterfront will offer a refined experience blending French elegance with the maritime heritage of Liguria. “Italy is one of Sofitel’s most important markets in Southern Europe, and the opening of Sofitel Genoa Waterfront marks a milestone in our growth strategy, after the success of Sofitel Roma Villa Borghese. Sofitel Genova will be the first true international luxury hotel in the city, filling a gap in a market still largely dominated by independent players.
