The Group has been involved in hospitality for almost four decades. Initially starting off as a guesthouse in 1984, operated by the Group’s founder Silvio Debono. Today, as the db group chairman, he sits at the helm of the largest hospitality operation in Malta.

Over the years, the Group has forged strategic relationships with a range of global players in the hospitality and catering industry. Among them are the Accor Hotel Group, RIU Hotels & Resorts, Hard Rock Café International and Starbucks. In the process, the Group has accumulated vital business acumen and operational experience at global level.

Year-on-year, the Group continues to achieve several prestigious international awards, in hospitality and catering, positioning it at the forefront of the Maltese hospitality and leisure industry. This track record has enabled us to establish our very own unique brand, db Hotels + Resorts, driven by the fundamental principle of excellence in everything we do.

In due course, and prudently, the Group diversified its core operations, adding contract catering, healthcare, and property development to its existing market footprints.

Following four decades of significant growth and success in the Maltese islands, in 2022 the Group took the strategic decision to internationalise and further diversify its operations through international investments, opening its first family office in Mayfair, London to spearhead the move.
