Senato Hotel, Milan

Via Senato 22, Milan City Center, 20121 Milan, Italy (show on map)

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.

The design is deeply inspired by Milanese heritage. You’ll notice the recurring Ginkgo Biloba leaf motif—a nod to the trees lining the street outside—which appears in the form of handcrafted lamps throughout the interior. The lobby is a masterclass in local craftsmanship, featuring rich materials like brass, velvet, and Carrara marble. A standout feature is the courtyard’s shallow slate-grey water pool, which creates a serene mirror for the building’s historic facade.

Located just steps from the prestigious Brera district and the high-end fashion boutiques of Via Montenapoleone, the hotel is perfectly positioned for style-seekers. It’s also incredibly convenient for sightseeing, with iconic landmarks like the Duomo and the legendary Teatro alla Scala only a short, pleasant walk away.

Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, the hotel’s calm, minimalist rooms offer a quiet sanctuary from the city’s buzz. With its mix of historic bones and modern, tailor-made details, the Senato provides an authentic taste of sophisticated Milanese living.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Milan.

Telegraph review:

“A sleek boutique hotel where gold, black and white dominate, a stone’s throw away from Milan’s upscale shopping streets. Handmade lamps, candles, marble floors and bespoke seating feature on the ground floor, while brass lamps and bedside tables marry well with the stylish monochrome interiors of the rooms.”

Nice and clean stay at a very well located chic Hotel.

Very nice and chic Hotel, it is well located nearby city center. The rooms are in very good size, with plenty of amenities and with natural light which I find delightful.

Exactly on the dates we stayed, they were having renovation work at the property so, it happened to be many workers and it was a little too noisy but it’s comprehensive. They have to do maintenance someday right?! And also at our arrival the personal greeting us was at the beginning not so friendly. I don’t expect that from the personal working at a hotel which they have to be precisely welcoming and attentive. But after that little encounter the rest of the days they were very polite and helpful.

Excellent. The Dyson blow dryer was an amazing touch!

This hotel completely exceeded my expectations. This is my 5th time traveling to Europe (including Viking cruise) and it was the nicest hotel I have stayed in. The bed was great, room 101 was magical, and the food was outstanding. Even with a few issues I would say amazing things about this boutique hotel.

My shower drain backed up, but that was just a maintenance issue I would imagine is pretty normal.

The wonderful staff helped rescue my items which were left behind in the safe. They called me as I was headed to the air

Great location and professional and caring staff.

The decor is a tad too modernist for my liking - I prefer good old fashion creature comforts in the room.

I’d like to commend Mr Daniel from Senato Hotel Milano for his exceptional service and resourcefulness in arranging for a taxi to retrieve a handbag that was left at a restaurant in Milan, even though this happened near the restaurant’s closing time. This genuine and personal service that I’m sure he extends to all guests at the hotel is why my family and I stay only at the Senato Hotel Milano whenever we are in the city. We are very grateful for his service and hospitality, thank you, Mr Daniel!

Hidden gem for a short trip to Milan. Highly recommended.

The hotel is perfectly located to stroll around the city, in vicinity of high street shops and well known restaurants / bars. Rooms have a decent size with generous bathroom. Amazing staff and small yet tasty breakfast buffet. Safe parking in the back of the hotel available.

The hotel was very quiet, conveniently located and staff were friendly and helpful.

I liked the location. It was slightly off the beaten path but within walking distance of the places I wanted to visit. I also the hotel restaurant. The fettuccine Bolognese was quite good.

The armchair in the room was a design piece and not something one could actually sit in comfortably. The lighting in the bathroom could have been better.
