“Rome is a ‘must-see’ destination for millions of travellers, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with Hilton to enhance the hotel offerings for visitors with the addition of the Hilton Garden Inn. Meanwhile, we are also excited to open the first Canopy by Hilton hotel in Milan, a city with 26 centuries of history.” – Fabrizio Roscioli, shareholder at Gruppo Rosciol
