What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The building played a pivotal role in the area’s restoration … it emerges as a dynamic centre, connecting the city’s most frequented cultural landmarks.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open directly onto Piazza Cordusio, just a short walk from the Duomo and Galleria.
The rooms
Venetian Rubelli fabrics drape bedrooms finished with custom Italian joinery and tall windows facing the historic center.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor heated pool features a hydromassage circuit and cascading neck shower jets among warm bronze columns.
The spa & gym
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Rooftop tables serve sushi and southern Italian plates overlooking the spires, and signature cocktails pour at the courtyard bar.
How it began

Constructed around 1901 as Assicurazioni Generali's Milan headquarters, the building anchored the historic square for over a century.
