What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
By comparison, the Hotel de la Ville feels intimate, almost residential, and it is, by luxury-hotel standards.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Villa Reale and its sprawling park sit directly opposite, with Monza's historic town center a short stroll away.
The rooms
Rooms take their styling from the Savoy royal palace across the street, decorated with antique furniture and period paintings.
Gym and sauna
A mirrored fitness room with weight machines and a two-person sauna sit inside the La Villa annex.
Derby Bar & American Bar
Deep red walls, wood panelling, and leather armchairs surround the bar, which pours classic cocktails and evening aperitifs.
Restaurant
Derby Grill
Tables sit beneath exposed timber beams looking toward the royal villa. Chef Fabio Silva oversees traditional Lombard recipes.
At the table
La Veranda sits in a bright glass conservatory lined with wicker armchairs and painted wall frescoes.
How it began
The site began as an 1899 restaurant before converting into a hotel named in honor of the House of Savoy.

The eight vibes

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.
