Abstract: The study uses the innovative model of Albergo Diffuso, or 'Dispersed Hotel', to substantiate the theory development of the organic synergetic entrepreneurship in hospitality. In this context, it involves the interrelationship between hotel management; restoration of ancient, inhabitable, and abandoned architectures; upcycling sustainability; and the synergetic interplay of all stakeholders. Currently, the number of abandoned structural architectures in Italy is about seven million. This initiative is beneficial to entrepreneurs engaging in upcycling abandoned structures to revive them and create jobs while adding value to the local economy. Identifying the development of concept will serve as the building block to create a synergetic framework for future research and for practitioners in the field.
