The label

A closer look at what guests experience.

Founded by Gianni Angelini, PALACE STATUS brings together the qualities of a place and the services delivered by its team. The assessment considers character, design, personalised service, cuisine and sustainable practices.

Villas follow the PALACE Status pathway. Superyachts follow PALACE@sea. Both involve an application, on-site assessment and a decision on the distinction.
