Stay here: Armani Hotel Milano review

What’s the deal

The Armani Hotel Milano exemplifies Giorgio Armani’s philosophy of understated elegance. Each of the property’s 95 guest rooms and suites have been personally designed by Armani, showcasing the designer’s distinctive aesthetic through meticulously chosen furnishings and sculptural elements.

I stayed in one of the Prestige Suites, which in addition to displaying Armani’s impeccable taste, boast an array of amenities, including iPad-controlled room settings, complimentary minibar soft drinks, and a Nespresso coffee maker. The marble bathrooms are beautifully designed and supplied with exclusive Armani/Privé toiletries, adding a touch of elegance that truly elevates the stay. 

This chic hotel is right at home in the Quadrilatero della Moda, Milan's fashion district, and is only a few minutes from the luxury boutiques of Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga, as well as the renowned Teatro alla Scala and the magnificent Piazza del Duomo. Views of the city can be admired from the hotel’s seventh-floor dining venues: the Armani/Bamboo Bar and Armani/Ristorante.    

Why stay

The hotel’s “Stay with Armani” philosophy transforms a conventional luxury stay into a genuinely personalised experience. Each guest is assigned a dedicated Lifestyle Manager who anticipates and caters to all their needs for a seamless stay. 

Guests can also access bespoke tailoring services: Made to Measure for men and Made to Order for women allow you to have Giorgio Armani collections personalised, either in the privacy of your suite or at the nearby Giorgio Armani boutique on Via Sant’Andrea. Meanwhile, the Armani/Fiori service provides exquisite floral arrangements for special occasions.

Cathay editors say…

“Don’t miss the Armani/SPA, the perfect retreat after a day exploring. This 1,000-square-metre wellness sanctuary on the eighth floor features a sauna, steam bath, ice fountain, and relaxation room that boasts sweeping views of Milan's skyline. The spa's bespoke treatments, using natural products, deliver the ultimate luxury pampering experience – you’d expect nothing less from Armani.”
