Our story

It was 2011 and the hotel industry was at the height of its revolution. New forms of travelling, the multiplying possibilities regarding accommodation and the different needs of an increasingly diverse clientele were radically changing the rules of the hotel industry.

It is within this exact context that Matteo Santarelli, who at only thirty had been already managing seven hotels in the Milan area, felt that it was time to give life to a new and different company, able to meet the real needs of the hotel market in its evolution and fluidity, by creating new formulas and business approaches that did not exist until a few years before. From the beginning, Matteo wanted to work with trustworthy consultants whose key expertise was essential for creating a winning team: Emanuela Cianchetti, Head of Sales and Marketing, and Simone Salvatori, Director of Revenue and Distribution, having both worked for the hotel industry for many years.

That is how Hotel Players was born.

A few years later, the team expanded when Emanuela Cianchetti and Omar Cominelli joined the Sales and Marketing department. Hotel Players has been working in Italy with dozens of hotels for short, medium and long term periods. Some are independent hotels, others belong to renowned international chains.
