My recent Milano sojourn began at a private cocktail soiree at the Dorchester Hotel Principe Di Savoia, which is a Golden Ticket on any day! I also enjoyed a stay here, the fabulous refurbishing deserves a separate post, coming!

For nearly a century, the neoclassical Gem has been the benchmark for all of Milan. Allure abounds as you arrive through the enormous black and gold revolving doors which cannot be locked – during Covid, staff remained in place as the revolving doors are a cultural institution! I digress, Glammed to the Nines for cocktails, push the button in the private elevator to the tenth floor, gilded panels slide open to reveal a long glowing hall lit by enormous candles, your private entrance to the Presidential Suite! The entire tenth floor accommodates the sumptuous suite! Serious Swoon!

The height of glamour and a Milanese symbol of sheer excellence, with three dazzling, yet cozy bedrooms for your closest friends, adorned with hand painted frescoes. Remember, Michaelangelo and the Sistine Chapel..frescoes are a strong suit in Rome! Extraordinary style and uniqueness are merely an introduction to the pièce de résistance – your own private indoor swimming pool and spa. You’ve most definitely arrived. My first thought was how to spend an Autumn or Winter weekend in Milano! The Pompeii style pool and spa chamber is an opulent over the top experience. Hand painted mosaic tiles, high windows let in light yet offer privacy – yes, this is truly a Swimsuit Optional Pool!

Designed by American architect Michael Stelea, whose mission was to create a real WOW factor, this suite doesn’t disappoint and has even starred in a Hollywood film. A spectacular rooftop terrace runs the entire length of the tenth floor, with a bird’s eye view of the Milano rooftops. Private chef can be arranged for romantic dinners al fresco. Craving a Cabaret Celebration? Gather for cocktails around the grand piano in the living room, the perfect scene for a naughty risqué chanteuse!

Perfect Penthouse for a Lost Weekend or the Ultimate Celebration!

Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milano, one never needs an excuse to be pampered.
