Hong Kong’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has opened the Mandarin Oriental, Milan. The intimate and contemporary hotel is housed within four elegantly redeveloped 18th century buildings, with a distinctly residential feel.
The hotel claims that the 104 elegant rooms and suites offer the most stylish and spacious accommodation in the Italian city. Situated on the central Via Andegari, just a few steps away from the fashionable Via Manzoni and Montenapoleone, the hotel is well located, with easy access to the city’s most important commercial, fashion and cultural centres.
The property combines contemporary Italian design by internationally renowned studio Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel Interiors, with timeless oriental luxury and service, to provide a comfortable and well-appointed environment.
Executive chef Antonio Guida, formerly of the two Michelin starred restaurant Il Pellicano, in Tuscany, presides over the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Seta, which has a menu of sophisticated, contemporary dishes combining French, Asian and Tuscan influences. The restaurant offers al fresco dining in its beautiful courtyard as well as year-round seating indoors.
The more casual Mandarin Bar, which also has courtyard seating, offers a ‘bistro style’ menu of Italian dishes and hotel classics. Its vibrant atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for enjoying a typical Milanese aperitivo or evening drink created by expert mixologists.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Milan offers six treatment rooms, two couple’s suites and a dedicated Thai massage room. In addition, there is a world-class hair salon headed by celebrity stylist, Massimo Serini, a manicure and pedicure studio, a beauty studio, an indoor heated swimming pool and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.
“We are delighted to introduce Mandarin Oriental’s renowned hospitality to Italy, and are confident that Mandarin Oriental, Milan will become a new luxury landmark for guests seeking the finest address in the city,” said Luca Finardi, General Manager.
