Expanding its international hospitality portfolio further, Leeu Collection has acquired its second European property, the former Collegio Alla Querce in Florence, Italy.

This latest acquisition echoes the vision of Analjit Singh, Leeu Collection’s founder and entrepreneur of Indian origin, of creating unrivalled escapes and offering visitors extraordinary experiences.


For Analjit, giving this project the โ€˜Leeu touchโ€™ through redevelopment and renovation is of utmost importance. โ€œWe will remain true to the pillars of our brand: inspiring art collections, distinct architecture and design; manicured and detailed landscaping that reflects respect for the environment; superlative service with attention to the smallest detail; spectacular views and an outstanding food and wine experience.

โ€œGiven the Florence hospitality and tourism boom, as well as the improving economic backdrop rejuvenating the European hotel sector, this new development is well timed and complements our existing portfolio. The Leeu Collection team will create an unforgettable experience in a superb setting.โ€

โ€œThe acquisition of this formidable historic property will complement Leeu Collectionโ€™s ethos of extraordinary offerings around the globe,โ€ added Carrie Wicks, CEO of Leeu Collection. โ€œThe project foresees the creation of a 5-star luxury hotel and a wide range of additional facilities, such as meeting and event spaces, a spa and restaurants.โ€
