Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Via Melzo runs through the heart of Porta Venezia, surrounded by independent bistros and lively evening aperitivo terraces.
The rooms
Walnut paneling and floor-to-ceiling windows ground the bedrooms, and select suites add private balconies.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Glass railings surround the heated rooftop pool, set along a tiled sun deck with open skyline views.
The gym
Technogym cardio and weight stations line a bright fitness studio looking out over the outdoor terrace.
Dogs stay too.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
