What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms are minimal, slightly retro-futuristic — much closer to Sixties swank than Renaissance opulence.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Fashion showrooms line Via Tortona right outside, and the MUDEC cultural museum sits directly across the street.
The rooms
Modular white rooms are accented with bold color splashes and minimal, retro-futuristic furnishings.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A cantilevered glass-bottom infinity pool and circular plunge pools sit across the 750-square-meter Vertigo rooftop.
Gym and Turkish bath
Treadmills and workout machines fill the gym, and a Turkish bath steam room sits nearby.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Karim Rashid designed the neon ground-floor bar, and Vertigo serves evening aperitivi on the rooftop terrace.
How it began
Heavy iron pillars and concrete floors remain from the building's previous life as a General Electric manufacturing plant.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

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

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
