Emblems Collection Expands to Italy with Relais San Clemente Emblems Collection

Emblems Collection, part of the Accor group, is proud to announce the signing of an exceptional property that will join the luxury brand in 2026, marking a major step in its development in Italy — a country synonymous with heritage, artistry, and refined lifestyle. Emblems Collection’s new address is a perfect example of the brand’s essence: luxury and intimacy. It embodies Emblems through its unique design, storytelling, and profound sense of place.

A partnership for the long term with a hospitality pioneer

This milestone was possible because of a strategic partnership between AG Group and one of Italy’s leading players in hospitality and tourism. AG Group was founded by Andrea Girolami in 2000. Since then, it has developed into a multifaceted system that includes luxury travel and hotel ownership as well as consulting and gourmet cuisine. AG Group, with its consulting division supporting over 40 hotels and their growing portfolio of owned-and-operated properties, has become an influential force in modern Italian hospitality.

The collaboration with Accor for the Emblems Collection reflects a common ambition to craft luxurious experiences deeply rooted into the soul of every destination and defined by a high art of customer service. Together, the two groups are transforming historic Italian landmarks into exclusive emblematic properties — each uniquely embodying its own essence and spirit, designed to resonate with today’s most discerning travellers.

Umbria Relais San Clemente, Emblems Collection Mid-2026, the estate will re-emerge as a 51 key estate with nine private Villas. Its atmosphere is deeply rooted to the natural and spiritual rhythms of this region. The retreat was once a Benedictine Convent, nestled in the 40-hectare park near Perugia. It is a place where silence, design and sacred history come together harmoniously. A consecrated chapel dedicated to San Clemente stands at its heart, infusing the entire property with a sense of soul and stillness — an intimate sanctuary woven with meaning.

Emblems Collection now has four distinct properties in Italy and seven hotels worldwide. Other destinations include Elatos Resort, Emblems Collection In Greece, Hotel Bellevue Cortina d’Ampezzo, Emblems Collection in Italy, Lucknam Park, Emblems Collection The UK. Rimrock Banff, Emblems Collection Canada. Each new location reaffirms the company’s commitment to crafting truly unique experiences with a refined and boutique-like lens.
