Limestone Capital has acquired a majority stake in LOISIUM Wine & Spa Hotels, marking a significant step in the brand’s expansion across Europe. Over the next twelve months, four new LOISIUM hotels are set to open in Italy and France backed by Limestone Capital commitment to invest over €100M into the expansion of the brand.
LOISIUM is renowned for its "Wine Retreatments in Europe's most beautiful wine regions", offering a unique combination of exceptional culinary offerings, spa experiences, and modern architecture. With its guiding principle, "Taste the Region", the brand seamlessly blends regional authenticity with a contemporary hospitality experience.
"LOISIUM represents an exceptional hospitality concept with strong growth potential. We are excited to bring our expertise to the table and support the brand in expanding into new markets while preserving its unique DNA," says Benjamin Habbel, Managing Partner at Limestone Capital.
LOISIUM’s established locations in Austria and France have already demonstrated the success of this concept on an international scale. The planned expansion into Italy and additional destinations in France represents the next milestone in this journey.
Laurent Branover, CEO of LOISIUM Wine & Spa Hotels, highlights the brand’s potential: "LOISIUM perfectly aligns with our investment strategy — an authentic, experience-driven hospitality brand with a deep connection to its regions and a strong focus on quality and sustainability. Our vision is to establish Europe's leading brand in wine tourism, with a commitment to expansion and the creation of a global brand. We are open to partnerships with hotel developers around the world who share our passion for wine."
With this acquisition, Limestone Capital is further strengthening its portfolio in the experiential hospitality sector, while LOISIUM continues its mission to redefine wine-inspired travel and relaxation.
