Despite being in the heart of Milan, the combination of leafy gardens and refined interiors, infuse this impressive hotel with a peaceful and exclusive vibe. Designed with Bulgari’s trademark style, expect sleek minimalism, rich materials including marble, teak, oak, leather, and silk, exquisite service, and fabulous attention to detail. With its stunning gardens, roaring fires, and framed artworks, the property has the feel of a luxurious residential retreat.
There are 61 rooms, including 17 suites, all enjoying floor-to-ceiling windows with garden, courtyard, or roadside views. Beautifully appointed, all feature plush beds and linens, teak and oak detailing, and black marble and white Navona travertine bathrooms with deep oval bathtubs. Both Deluxe and Premium Rooms also include walk-in closets. Alternatively, Junior Suites include a seating area, or trade up to a Superior or Deluxe Suite for a separate living room. For entertaining, there are two Premium Suites with a dining area for up to six guests, while the Bulgari Suite can be configured with one or two bedrooms and enjoys a private terrace, butler service and air of quiet sophistication.
The dining is overseen by three Michelin star chef, Niko Romito who serves elegantly presented modern Italian cuisine in the chic dining room of Il Ristorante, including his reimagined lasagne and tiramisu. Private dining can also be enjoyed at Il Gazebo located in a discreet corner of the garden, while afternoon tea includes a selection of La Pasticceria, an exclusive collection of 11 pastries created by Romito. Depending on the weather, drinks and cocktails can be enjoyed either in the noirish and atmospheric Bulgari Bar or Il Giardino, both a magnet for stylish in-the-know locals.
For wellbeing, the Spa features a showstopping golden tiled pool, treatment rooms, a hair and beauty salon, and well-equipped gym offering bespoke fitness and nutrition plans. After a rigorous workout guests can reward themselves with an indulgent selection of Bulgari’s handmade chocolates from Il Cioccolato, including limited edition seasonal creations. The gardens are a highlight of the property, ideal for relaxing both during the day and evening. While in terms of sustainability, the hotel is plastic free, uses low energy lightbulbs and all bedding is made from organically and ethically grown cotton and linen.
For those wishing to explore, the hotel offers a Secret Milan tour led by an art historian, the chance to enjoy a private evening tour of the Duomo Cathedral and a private viewing of some of the world’s greatest Renaissance artwork at the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.
