Instantánea de Rocco Forte Hotels
Sir Rocco Forte has wasted no time proving that the hotel business really is his strong suit. After his family's hotel business slipped through his hands in a 1996 hostile takeover by what is now Compass Group, Forte decided to launch his own luxury hotel company. The hotelier set out to conquer Europe's capitals, one city at a time. Today Rocco Forte Hotels boasts approximately a dozen "luxe" properties in such locales as Brussels; Edinburgh, Scotland; Florence, Rome, Sicily, Puglia Italy; London; Berlin & Munich. The company also manages two hotels in St. Petersburg, Russia.
