Accor continues to expand its presence in Italy through a new franchise partnership with PPN HOSPITALITY. This collaboration marks the integration of Sondrio's Grand Hotel della Posta into Accor's Handwritten Collection brand, effective April 2024.

Steeped in history, the Grand Hotel della Posta is located in Sondrio, between the Alps and Lake Como.

Following renovations, the establishment will feature 38 rooms and two dining venues: 1862 Ristorante della Posta and Felix Cafe, as well as seven multi-purpose meeting spaces, a spa and a fitness center.

"The Grand Hotel della Posta is a benchmark for hospitality in Valtellina. We are convinced that joining the Handwritten Collection, as part of a personalized portfolio from Accor, a world leader in the hospitality sector, will give the hotel and the destination the visibility and enhancement they deserve, attracting Italian and international tourists thanks to its excellent location and unique personality." - Filippo Cavandoli, CEO and founder of PPN Hospitality.

"The Accor Group's strategy is based on sustainable development and the conversion of existing structures: improving what you have is not only good for the environment, but benefits the whole community in terms of jobs and support for the region. Thanks to the collaboration and mutual trust with our partner PPN Hospitality, we can bring an international hospitality brand to Valtellina, and I'm confident that the combination of this extraordinary destination with the charm of the Handwritten Collection brand will make the new hotel a place full of history and charm, all year round, for all guests." -Ettore Cavallino, Senior Development Director for Italy, Greece and Malta.
