Hotel Principe di Savoia is one of the top hotels in Milan, and one that combines the city’s finest tradition of elegance with the most modern comforts.
Most international celebrities, world-renowned artists and important players in the world of finance have often chosen Hotel Principe di Savoia ‒ one of the top hotels in Milan ‒ for their stays in town. Why? Because it’s a truly special place where traditional Milanese design, old-world charme and modern luxury coexist.
In spite of being the hotel of choice for the elite for almost a century, and a coveted destination in its own right, Principe di Savoia continues to innovate in order to keep pace with Milan’s contemporary spirit.
Opened in 1927 and located a short walk from Milan Central Station and one minute from the “Repubblica” underground station (Green line), the hotel is also easily accessible from Linate Airport.
Despite its large size (with its 44 suites and 257 rooms and spacious lounges), it has the intimate, cozy and private vibe of a boutique hotel.
The rooms and suites will take your breath away with their beauty. Let’s talk about them more in detail. First of all, each of them is different from the other. In terms of style, they blend the typical 19th century design with contemporary accents.
The Presidential Suite (the most luxurious) ‒ an absolute favourite with movie-stars and international Royalty ‒ was designed by American architect Michael Stelea and features three large bedrooms, a beautiful living room, a private spa with a huge swimming pool and, of course, a stunning view. The marble floors recall St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, while the mosaics are inspired by Pompeian villas. A homage to Italian architectural and artistic tradition.
The Imperial Suites are almost equally impressive: created by Milan-based interior designer Celeste Dell’Anna, each of these 230 square metre suites has a four-poster bed and is decorated with colourful works of art, while a crocodile leather desk stands out in the spacious living room. The bathroom is equipped with a Turkish bath, hydromassage shower and chromotherapy system.
The Principe Suites, designed by Francesca Basu, feature gorgeous hand-painted frescoes and traditional Italian furniture, while the Mosaic Rooms have Lasa marble bathrooms and handmade glass mosaics.
Last but not least, if you want to enjoy a wonderful view of Milan’s Piazza della Repubblica, you can book the recently renovated Deluxe Terrace Room; and if you want to have breakfast in the sunshine (weather permitting), you can opt for the Principe Terrace Suite with its private terrace overlooking the square.
The beds in all the hotel’s rooms have wonderfully soft linens and lovely cashmere throws: the overall experience is so cosy that you won’t want to leave your bed in the morning. And, if you’re a fan of Acqua di Parma toiletries, you’re in for a very pleasant surprise.
Restaurant, Lounge and Bar
If you want to dine at the hotel after a busy day of shopping, sightseeing or business meetings, you can taste Chef Matteo Gabrielli’s scrumptious cuisine at “Ristorante Acanto”, the Milanese restaurant much loved by locals. The large windows offer a lovely view of the peaceful Italian garden with its spectacular 18th century fountain.
For a relaxing break or to meet up with friends, you can have a typically Italian cappuccino, a light lunch or an afternoon tea at the ground-floor lounge “Il Salotto”.
One of the coolest spots of the hotel is the very elegant “Il Principe Bar” with live music starting from 6:00 p.m. until late and the most amazing cocktails.
Spa, Gym and Pool area
Don’t miss the hotel spa on the 10th floor, where you can enjoy a world-class facial after a long day, or the gym where you can work out while admiring Milan Porta Nuova’s skyline. A 60 square metre heated swimming pool and a relaxation area with a hot tub, sauna and Turkish bath complete the picture.
And, finally, a special mention: the hotel’s Concierge Team is impeccable and will definitely exceed your expectations, in true “your wish is my command” style.
Hotel Principe di Savoia is one of the “gems” of the prestigious Dorchester Collection, with luxury hotels in London, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.
