It’s set on an acre of gardens, at the end of a private street between the Quadrilatero della Moda and the Brera — discreetly sequestered, but close by to the heart of Milan.
“Set in a renovated 18th-century Milanese palazzo on a private street close to Milan’s Via Montenapoleone, the Bulgari is one of Milan’s most distinguished residences.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, the hotel sits right between the gallery-lined lanes of Brera and the Via Montenapoleone fashion houses.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out to lush canopies, with interiors finished in black Zimbabwe granite, bleached oak, and deep granite soaking tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Underground, the heated lap pool glows beneath fluted columns, lined with gold-leaf and emerald Vicenza mosaics.
The spa
Treatment suites are finished in Vicenza stone and teak, offering therapies with Augustinus Bader and La Mer products.
The gym and hot tub
A timber-decked hot tub sits beside relaxation daybeds, and the fitness room is fitted with Antonio Citterio Technogym equipment.
Dogs stay too.
Il Bar & The Bulgari Lounge
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens toward the garden, surrounding a black resin counter where bartenders shake the signature Bulgari cocktail.
the property’s central location and Zen gardens, the refined Italian design, and the spectacular spa, which feels like time-traveling back to an ancient Roman bath.
At the table
Dinners are served on Ginori porcelain beneath arched ceilings, with private tables tucked inside a garden gazebo.
How it began
Once an eighteenth-century palazzo and convent, the grounds still preserve a historic stone Madonnina statue salvaged from the original chapel.
“world-class design – by architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners – a multifaceted spa and five locally lauded food and drink outlets combine”
