Days here fall easily into Milan’s elegant rhythm.

On your return, pause for aperitivo at The Carlton Bar or in the leafy garden, where crafted cocktails and light bites capture the city’s effortless glamour.?
Wellness is woven into the experience at the Irene Forte Spa, where a soothing palette, expert therapists and results-driven rituals offer a welcome contrast to the buzz of the city outside. Unwind with a tailored facial, relax in the thermal area or swim in the indoor pool before perhaps fitting in a workout at the 24-hour fitness centre. With attentive concierge service, thoughtful touches such as in-house floristry and comprehensive transport support to the city’s airports and stations, The Carlton Milan works equally well as a standalone urban escape or as a refined stop on a wider Italian journey.
