Bulgari Hotel, Milan
More photosThe Bulgari Hotel Milano is a masterclass in quiet sophistication. Housed in a beautifully restored 18th-century palazzo, the property occupies a secluded, private street in the heart of Milan’s bustling city center. Originally a convent, it was transformed into a design landmark by architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, who blended the building’s historical bones with sharp, modern Italian aesthetics.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its unexpected natural oasis: a sprawling 4,000-square-meter private garden. Tucked away from the urban noise, this lush space provides a serene backdrop for the hotel’s signature black granite bar and sophisticated restaurant. Inside, the design relies on precious materials like Zimbabwe black marble, Burmese teak, and Vicenza stone, creating a look that feels both luxurious and remarkably intimate.
The hotel’s location is perfect for those who want to be close to the action without sacrificing peace. You are just steps away from the Brera district, known for its artistic soul, and a short walk from the iconic Quadrilatero della Moda for world-class shopping.
Cultural landmarks are equally accessible, with the legendary La Scala Opera House and the majestic Duomo di Milano within easy walking distance. Whether you are browsing the nearby Botanical Gardens or heading to the Pinacoteca di Brera to view Renaissance masterpieces, the hotel serves as an incredibly elegant home base for experiencing the very best of Milan.
Expert reviews
“This hotel was exquisitely designed by Antonio Citterio, best known for his work for furniture company B&B Italia. The result is a wonder of wood, marble and granite that defines Milano cool and exudes warmth at the same time.”
“Presenting the sort of cool, contemporary style that comes with a hefty price tag, the Bulgari is surprisingly tranquil considering its position just steps away from the designer stores of Milan’s Quad d’Oro.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Milan.
“When historic Italian jeweler Bulgari expanded into hospitality in 2004, it chose Milan as the city to behold its vision. Under the five-story hotel’s clean, black-and-white marble facade with black granite eaves and dyed oak frames, you will find opulence at every turn.”
“The Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the car park set the tone of this luxury Milan hotel. Stylish interiors feature contemporary Italian furniture, black marble and floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel bar attracts Milan’s haut monde who come here to enjoy one of the city’s best aperitivi.”

Magna Pars L’ Hotel à Parfum, Milan
Magna Pars L'Hotel à Parfum is a unique five-star destination in Milan, famously known as the world’s first "perfume hotel." Housed in what was once the historic Marvin perfume factory, it was transformed by the Martone family into a boutique retreat that celebrates their rich legacy in Italian artisan perfumery. The industrial past of the building is beautifully preserved, with exposed brick and steel elements now softened by minimalist design and lush internal gardens.
New York Times + 2 more“In a former perfume factory in Zona Tortona, the Magna Pars Milano is a boutique hotel that opened in 2013 with 28 suites encircling a lush courtyard garden. Decorated with calming, neutral hues, the rooms also feature furnishings from local designers and paintings by artists from the Brera Academy.”

Ostello Bello, Milan
Ostello Bello began as a dream among a group of friends in 2009, born from a shared passion for travel and a desire to create a "home" for fellow explorers in Milan. The name itself is a cheeky nod to their philosophy: it’s simple, distinctly Italian, and just silly enough to represent the founders’ fun-loving spirit.
Lonely Planet + 2 more“A breath of fresh air in Milan’s stiffly suited centre, this is the best hostel in town. Entrance is through its lively bar-cafe, open to nonguests, where you’re welcomed with a smile and a complimentary drink.”
Senato Hotel, Milan
The Senato Hotel is a chic, family-owned boutique retreat nestled in the heart of Milan. Housed in a beautiful early 20th-century neoclassical urban mansion, it was once the private residence of the Ranza family for over a century before being transformed into a hotel. The project was masterminded by Milanese architect Alessandro Bianchi, who blended tradition with a sharp, contemporary edge.
New York Times + 1 more“Beside the city’s fashion district, the Senato Hotel is an elegant 43-room boutique property that opened in 2015 in a neoclassical palazzo that was formerly a private family residence.”
