CGPH secures approval for €15 million hotel financing plan

CGPH Banque d’affaires has won approval from a U.S. financial partner for up to €15 million in senior financing tied to an Italian hotel expansion. The deal would refinance an operating property near Bergamo and fund the acquisition and relaunch of a second hotel in Lamezia Terme.

Why it matters: - The financing links a refinance and a growth acquisition in one structure, giving an Italian hotel group a longer runway for expansion. - The plan supports activity in two regions of Italy: Lombardy in the north and Calabria in the south. - The approved structure could help align debt service with hotel operations, refurbishment and ramp-up timing.

What happened: - CGPH Banque d’affaires secured approval from a U.S. financial partner for senior financing of up to €15 million. - The financing supports an Italian hotel group’s expansion plan. - The transaction combines refinancing of an operating hotel near Bergamo with the acquisition, refurbishment and relaunch of a second hotel in Lamezia Terme. - The announcement was made in Paris on Sept. 21, 2026.

The details: - The first asset is an operating four-star hotel near Milan Bergamo Airport. - The planned refinancing would replace existing debt with a longer-term facility. - The second asset is a four-star property in the Lamezia Terme area. - The project includes acquisition of the hotel, a refurbishment program and the launch of new management by a professional hotel operator under a long-term agreement. - The financing term can run up to 15 years. - The structure includes an initial period of up to 24 months before principal repayments begin. - That window is intended to cover acquisition work, refurbishment and the start of operations under new management. - CGPH Banque d’affaires is helping define the financing structure, prepare the transaction and coordinate with the U.S. financial partner. - The advisory mandate covers both the refinancing of the existing hotel and the financing tied to the new acquisition and refurbishment. - CGPH Banque d’affaires is an independent corporate finance and strategic advisory firm based in Paris La Défense. - The firm is part of CGPH Group and advises companies, entrepreneurs, shareholders and professional and institutional investors on financing, growth, acquisitions and corporate transformation.

Between the lines: - The structure suggests lenders are willing to back hospitality assets when cash-flow timing, asset quality and redevelopment plans are tightly matched. - Using existing operations as a base for a second purchase can reduce execution risk compared with funding a stand-alone turnaround. - The north-to-south Italy strategy points to geographic diversification while keeping the project within one operational sector. - Kolyo Boichev said international capital requires a clear, sustainable transaction structured around the company’s operating timeline.

What's next: - The hotel group is also evaluating a possible third property that has not yet been identified. - That additional acquisition sits outside the initial €15 million financing package and will be reviewed separately after a property is selected. - The next execution steps are the acquisition, refurbishment and relaunch of the Lamezia Terme property under new management. - CGPH will continue coordinating with the U.S. financial partner as the transaction advances.

The bottom line: - CGPH has assembled a cross-border financing plan that turns one operating hotel refinance into a platform for further expansion in Italy.
