The 269 rooms and 132 suites have all been carefully and individually designed. The Club 10 Fitness and Beauty Center is one of the finest of its kind in Milan and the hotel’s Acanto Restaurant offers exceptional Italian cuisine from the talented head chef Fabrizia Cadei.
TOP SUITE PRESIDENTIAL SUITE
Why we love it: Queen Elizabeth II has stayed here, as have George Clooney, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Allen and many other celebrities and royals. If these names alone are not associated with enough magnificence and grandeur, the Presidential Suite’s luxury interior is sure to satisfy even the most expectant travelers. Grand and majestic, this suite offers three en suite bedrooms, a formal dining room that seats ten and a Pompeian-styled swimming pool. Working fireplaces add to the ambiance and warmth throughout winter, while a private terrace on the hotel’s tenth floor offers a prime view over the rooftops of Milan. Every last detail has been thought through from the Venetian XIX century mirrors to the Murano glass chandeliers and late 19th century prints lining the walls. Its interior aside, you can expect few places to match the suite’s meticulous services: between a 24 hour butler and chauffeur your every whim will be catered for.

MAISON MOSCHINO
Though housed in the grand neoclassical former railway station, Maison Moschino is perhaps the most eccentric and bizarre building in all of Milan.
The interior is the design of fairy tales, highly abstract and bordering on the surreal. For this reason it is a destination in its own right. Each of the 65 rooms are individually furnished according to the Moschino philosophy that “to sleep is perchance to dream”, so in your room don’t be surprised to find a Little Red Riding Hood wolf staring at you, trees growing up the side of your bed or, quite literally, a bed of roses.
TOP SUITE JUNIOR SUITE
Why we love it: In line with Maison Moschino’s humorous room design, this suite prides itself on its uniqueness rather than its space. Here you will find out-of-size furniture that’s sure to take you by surprise along with other varieties of bizarre objects that make the Junior Suite like none other you will ever find. Distinctively inspired by Alice in Wonderland, the Junior Suite is an exciting place to stay in the heart of Milan.

GRAND HOTEL ET DE MILAN
Since its opening almost 150 years ago, high society has been drawn to Grand Hotel et de Milan by its grandeur and old Milanese charm.
It is a stone’s throw away from La Scala and the fashion district surrounding the Duomo cathedral. Despite all its stateliness, the ‘Milan’, as it is known, retains the personal touch as it has been run by the Bertazzoni family for three successive generations, something of a rarity in hotels of this calibre. While some rooms are traditionally furnished with original antiques, others have been inspired by some of the hotel’s bizarre guests and include some fairly eccentric objets d’art.
TOP SUITE GIUSEPPE VERDI SUITE
Why we love it: More a museum piece than a suite, the Giuseppe Verdi Suite is a tribute to the composer who stayed here for 27 years until his death. The neoclassical windows and marble fireplace have remained the same ever since. Staying here will not only make you feel like a late 19th century aristocrat, you’ll also get a completely exclusive insight into Milan’s most famous hero.
