Hilton is set to open Italy’s first LXR Hotels & Resorts property in the traditional town of Gardone, Lake Garda, following a franchise agreement with Paval Holding and Apex Alliance. The Grand Hotel Gardone Lake Garda, which has been a key landmark on the lakefront since 1884, will undergo a multimillion-euro renovation, providing high-ceilinged guest rooms with stunning lake views from private balconies while preserving its grand façade.
