Minor Hotels has unveiled a new Tivoli Hotels & Resorts in Italy, in the heart of Puglia. Following a comprehensive renovation, the Tivoli Palazzo Risorgimento Lecce is set to open in April 2026, establishing itself as a new landmark in luxury hospitality for one of Italy’s most sought-after and fastest-growing travel destinations.

Located in Lecce’s historic centre, on Via Imperatore Augusto, between Piazza Sant’Oronzo and Piazzetta Santa Chiara, Tivoli Palazzo Risorgimento Lecce will feature 45 elegantly appointed guest rooms, a restaurant on the ground floor and a lounge bar at the rooftop with breathtaking views of the Cathedral Bell Tower.

Surrounded by golden sandstone buildings, charming piazzas, and vibrant cafés and wine bars, the hotel will offer guests a rich blend of relaxation and cultural experiences in the heart of Lecce — often called the “Florence of the South” for its renowned Baroque architecture and vibrant cultural scene.

Located within walking distance of key attractions like the Roman Amphitheatre in Piazza Sant’Oronzo, the Basilica di Santa Croce, and Lecce Cathedral, the new Tivoli Palazzo Risorgimento Lecce will provide easy access to beautiful beaches just 20 minutes away by car.

Tivoli Hotels & Resorts debuted in Lisbon in 1933 and has since expanded from Portugal to Brazil, Qatar and China, and has been growing its footprint further in Europe with recent openings in Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.

This year the brand further expanded its presence in Portugal with the openings of Tivoli Kopke Porto Gaia and Tivoli Estela Golf & Lodges.
