An ideal hideout for this self-professed shopaholic, The Bulgari Hotel Milano is located on a private, gated street in the center of the city near the botanical gardens. Of course, superb shopping is nearby, as well as II Duomo and La Scala. After filling my arms with my precious purchases, I return for an afternoon nap in my serene guestroom, taking advantage of the blackout drapes. Take time to visit the luxurious spa, where treatments use Eastern and Balinese techniques. In this former monastery, most rooms have teak balconies overlooking the private courtyard.

Refined and prestigious, the Bulgari Hotel in Milan links contemporary design with comfort. A tribute from the Italian Jeweller to the world of luxury, situated in Milan’s most stylish area - Via Montenapoleone, Via della Spiga, the Scala theatre and the Academy of Brera. It is an unexpected oasis of exclusive tranquillity immersed in the frenzy of the city centre. A 4,000 sqm private garden, next to the Botanical Gardens, incorporates the hotel in a haven of green. The building is made up of three sections. The oldest of the three façades dates back to the 1700s and is partly visible.

Comfort is top priority in the rooms and suites. The large windows open out onto teak balconies overlooking the garden, and the daylight draws attention to the harmony of the colours and materials inside. The fabrics are in tones of light brown and grey, which complement the English oak flooring and highlight the black furnishings. Some of the rooms have meditation corners, complete with tatami. A large space is dedicated to the bathroom which is separated from the bedroom by a thick bronze net which creates unexpected transparencies. The black marble from Zimbawe adds to the sophistication and suggestively plays with the warm tones of the Navona travertine.

Aromas and colours of the Italian cuisine find fresh ground in the sophisticated restaurant and bar area. In both the restaurant and the lounge, a spectacular glass facade allows the opulence of the interiors to unexpectedly blend into the luminosity of the garden. During the warm season the terrace on the garden becomes an ideal backdrop for delectables and drinks.

In line with contemporary well-being rituals, the Bulgari Hotel Spa in Milan offers a sumptuous and elegant setting. The daylight that seeps through the glass window facade beautifully illuminates the gold mosaic swimming pool. The hammam with its green glass is like a mysterious emerald set in a jewel of incomparable beauty.
