I run hospitality properties and support independent owners as co-founder of Best Way Hotel Solution Group: openings, repositioning, revenue, cost control.
Acireale (CT), Sicily
My name is Orazio Spina. I've worked in Italian hospitality for over thirty-five years, on a path that started at the front desk and led to general management of 4- and 5-star hotels, historic masserie, wellness resorts, and luxury boutique hotels across Italy.
I have led thirteen different properties since 2006, each with its own demands: openings from scratch, extreme seasonality, repositioning, entry into international hotel collections. This experience is the foundation on which, together with my partners, I built Best Way Hotel Solution Group.
"Every property has its own numbers. My job is to make them add up, season after season."
Every property I've directed has left a measurable result: growth, repositioning, standards achieved. These are the numbers I bring to Best Way Hotel Solution Group's clients.
At a leisure property serving a mostly international market, achieved over six seasons through targeted marketing strategies.
Three properties, each different in context and market: operating model, procedures, and team built from scratch at each one.
Membership project for a 5-star luxury property, implementing the required international standards.
Direction of a hotel with a wellness center: three restaurants, a spa area, and a semi-Olympic pool.
From the front desk to Room Division Manager, before my first appointment as director.
From 4-star hotels to boutique properties and 5-star luxury resorts, across very different settings.
"We bring independent properties the same method I apply every day as a director."
I am co-founder and partner of Best Way Hotel Solution Group, a hotel consulting firm based in Acireale, Sicily. We work exclusively with independent leisure properties: family-run properties, boutique hotels, and resorts that want to grow without joining a large group.
We never start from a standard template, but from the property's real numbers: occupancy, costs, team, positioning. From there we build a tailored plan, verifiable season after season.
We are actively growing our business and are looking for new hotel clients and strategic partners in the Italian market.
From operational concept to opening day, for new properties or new management take-overs.
Redefining identity and market positioning for established properties.
Rate and distribution strategies built on the property's real data.
Org charts, department procedures, and cost control to protect margin.
Luxury boutique hotel and wedding venue, historic buildings on the Sicilian coast.
From the front desk to general management: every role added a piece to the method I now bring to consulting.
General management of a luxury property with historic buildings: brand identity, service standards, revenue management, and partnerships with international tour operators and wedding planners.
Seasonal direction of a 4-star hotel with 33 rooms, a restaurant, and a wellness center in Val di Fassa.
Direction of a 19th-century Sicilian masseria: service standards, cost/revenue control, and dynamic rate management across the website and OTAs.
Managerial start-up of the boutique resort, supporting ownership in defining the operating model, revenue, and OTA management.
Start-up of a restored 18th-century masseria, serving an international leisure market. 30% client base growth through new marketing strategies.
Direction of multiple hotel properties, including abroad; event and banquet management, operating budgets, and service standards.
Management of a 5-star luxury property with high-profile banquets and events. Leading Hotels of the World membership project, implementing international standards.
Direction of a hotel and 20,000 sqm wellness center, with 3 restaurants, wellness areas, a semi-Olympic pool, and a gym.
Start-up of a mountain property: staff training and sales through GDS, IDS, and website channels.
Management control, revenue management, and development of sales strategies across GDS/IDS channels.
Sixteen years working my way up: floor waiter, front desk secretary, night audit, up to Room Division Manager at the President Park Hotel in Acicastello.
