Panoramic Milan views from a sleek spa hotel

• In the city of style: Milan’s famous for its fashion credentials, and the hotel lives up to the city’s stylish reputation. Inside it’s sleek and trendy, with each room dressed in chic colours. Cassina furniture is made from rich walnut or briar root with accents of steel and leather, while bathrooms are dressed in marble and elegant iridescent glass mosaic tiles. Rooms and suites have Japanese influences like cherry blossom and crane-print wallpaper – each one is a serene sanctuary.

• Take a break: Long days of exploring can be capped off by a relaxing and restorative trip to the spa, situated high above the rooftops of Milan with stunning views – as far as the Duomo and the Italian Alps on a good weather day. Enjoy oriental-inspired treatments and massages (fees apply) before a workout in the well-appointed fitness centre.

• A place to dine: Sophia’s Restaurant is a light-filled space that occupies a historic part of the building which once housed the former printing press. Here you’ll find traditional Italian dishes and local favourites from the Lombardy region, made with organic zero-kilometre produce. An elegant bar has a lengthy list of signature cocktails for any occasion.
