Fashion Design Hotel
One of the first designer hotels in Milan, a wow-of-one at that, Bulgari Hotel presides over a 18th Century palazzo that's still the hottest address in town. The location sits between Via Montenapoleone and the Accademia di Brera, floating in a dreamy garden of rolling of almost neon-green lawn and elevated outdoor lounge arranged in sexy décor and fichus trees as manicured as the model-looking patrons. Interiors live up to even the loftiest of architectural expectations with Zimbabwe black marble and Zen-undertones compliments of Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel. An in-house Italian eatery offers refined cuisine in a fashionable setting. Three separate bar areas include the lobby lounge, a main bar defined by floor-to-ceiling windows facing an outdoor garden with oval-shaped bar cast in black resin in addition to Il Giardino garden lounge. Both the spa and fitness center with indoor pool are smaller than you might expect if previously at Bulgari Bali or even Armani Hotel Milan.
The Room
Smaller and more intimate than you expect on first site, a mere 58 rooms include 11 suites include Zen-minded design spaces with monochromatic furnishings and wood-paneled walls that have maintained the test of time in the most fashionable of circumstances. Lofty wood floors with dark woven rugs illuminate further details of teak and oak even in entry-level Superior Rooms with corner windows facing a 1930s street scene or elegant garden. Bathrooms are, of course, stocked in Bulgari Green Tea bath products between black granite bathtub and a separate shower lined in Navona travertine. Larger specialty suites offer more entertaining and living space with singular option including a teak-lined terrace.
