This five star luxury hotel has been constructed off the remnants of a 15th century convent, as such the architecture carries a lot of weight of the past, which is sure to be fascinating for history and architecture buffs. If you’re in need of some relaxation you can also head on over to their spa which is housed within an old wine-cellar. The primary restaurant here is La Veranda, a restaurant of Italian cuisine. The hotel is located in Quadrilatero district, which is the prime location for all the boutique designers of Milan.
It has a superb location in the heart of Milan’s upmarket Quadrilatero district, home to the city’s most exclusive designer boutiques. The hotel has a discreet entrance on Via Gesù that opens up onto the bar and lounge.
Spread out over three interconnecting buildings, housed in a beautiful 15th-century convent, with rooms set around a cloistered courtyard featuring geometric designs of boxwoods and laurels. Original granite pillars and fragments of frescoes are visible, while stone carvings and stucco ceilings remain from the 15th century convent.
The attractive courtyard – once a monastic garden used to cultivate herbs and greens – is an elegant and peaceful oasis of serenity, a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of central Milan. The understated interiors feature classic designs, with Murano chandeliers and rich Fortuny fabrics.
Service is friendly and welcoming, with attentive and amicable staff. Facilities are very good, with an excellent spa and eight meeting and function rooms, as well as an attractive sunken courtyard patio. Don’t miss a visit to the hotel’s famed Chocolate
Spread out across three interconnecting buildings, the rooms blend historic details and contemporary design. Most rooms give onto the peaceful courtyard, while some overlook the quiet Via Gesù or neighboring private gardens. Standard rooms feature classic décor in earthy tones – green, ochre and terracotta – with elegant furnishings made of sycamore and pearwood.
The suites are all positioned around the central courtyard, whereas all the rooms look out onto Via Gesù. The suites are all designed in a personalized manner, each one carrying a distinct personality, replete with frescoes, painted ceilings, and wall embellishments. The rooms also feature lively color palettes, mostly in shades of green and ochre. The bathrooms are completely tiled in marble, and they feature mirrors that can’t get foggy with steam. If you’re staying at this hotel, then you simply must have a drink at their inner courtyard, wherein you can be served choice cocktails from the foyer bar.
STILLA
Right in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, Stilla bar is open all day for morning straight-up espressos, shifting to pre-dinner aperitif and ending with unique, polished cocktails accompanied by daily DJ sets.
CAMINO
Soft lights, sophistication, and intimacy are the elements of our Camino – a place to relax away from the crowd or to enjoy a selection of fine wines and champagne. During the warmer months of the year, the dining scene is focused around the attractive cloistered courtyard, a particularly appealing spot for a meal, aperitivo or post-prandial drink (in winter, settle by the sandstone fireplace in the intimate Sala Camino, the convent’s old sacristy).
