Opulent palace
Hotel Principe di Savoia is centrally located for both business and pleasure. It is close to the couture houses of Montenapoleone and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. The Teatro Alla Scala is conveniently close along with the many sights for which Milan is so famous – the Duomo, the National Science and Technology Museum, and the many art galleries, churches and gardens.
This grand luxury hotel, part of the Dorchester Collection, is right on the Piazza della Repubblica. In a league of its own, it is one of the best-loved luxury hotels in Milan. Offering the finest Italian hospitality in an impressive former palace, this neo-classical building was once owned by the Aga Khan. Set in its own gardens it has been accommodating stars and royalty since the 1920s. Its superb location, unrivalled amenities and outstanding service makes it well deserving of its many awards including the Condé Nast Traveler Gold List 2007 and the Travel and Leisure award for 2009 along with other resort and restaurant awards.
Guests are welcomed in the grand foyer, which certainly lives up to its name, with rainbow light rays shining down from the magnificent stained glass cupola. This opulent luxury hotel has 17 fully-equipped meeting rooms, Club 10, the huge spa and fitness area and the five star ‘Acanto’ restaurant, famous for its gourmet dining experience.
The Hotel Principe de Savoia has 269 rooms, and a further 132 luxury suites. They are all decorated and furnished in 19th century style with the very best design features of that classic era. This is coupled with the very latest technology including thermostatically controlled heating and air conditioning, wireless high speed internet and a refrigerated minibar. The damask-covered walls, large opening windows and high ceilings reflect the grand architecture of this former palace. Bathrooms are huge marble-tiled affairs. The newest rooms are the Deluxe Mosaic rooms which all overlook the Piazza della Repubblica.
This is the serious luxury choice for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Set within divine surroundings, the Hotel Principe de Savoia is arguably the most famous luxury hotel in Milan. Staying here is an opportunity not to be missed. Eva Peron, Madonna and Josephine Baker are all former guests of the hotel, which has the largest Presidential Suite in Europe at over 500m2. It comes with its own swimming pool and rooms for bodyguards, so if you are looking to upgrade, this will certainly be memorable!
