The hotel celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2014 during Milan Fashion Week with the unveiling of freshly renovated rooms and public spaces, a new spa collaboration, and culinary treats.
The heart of the original classical yet contemporary design by the renowned architects Antonio Citterio, Patricia Viel and Partners has been refreshed with cream coloured linen wallpaper, new furniture from Antonio Citterio’s Flexform Collection and Maxalto, drapes by Enzo degli Angiuoni, B&B module libraries, and plush carpets by Altai. Framed sketches of iconic Bulgari jewels have been added to all the rooms, while the suites feature a new collection of arts and design books.
In the public spaces, archival sketches from the 1950s of Bulgari’s famed ‘spille Giardinetto’ – or garden brooches – hang in all the elevator landings, alongside images in the lobby of celebrities long associated with Bulgari such as Monica Vitti, Sophia Loren and Anita Ekberg.
One of the most extensive renovations has taken place in The Spa where a private new couples treatment room, sauna, and outdoor Jacuzzi were added in August 2014. On this occasion, the hotel announced its collaboration with the luxury skincare specialists La Mer. For the first time, guests are able to indulge in a series of customized body and facial treatments that incorporate La Mer’s cutting-edge beauty products. The Gentlemen’s Studio has also introduced a new grooming menu designed specially for men.
The Bulgari Hotel Milano is also launching in 2015 the second edition of the EPICUREA food festival. Beginning in January 2015, this remarkable culinary event will take the hotel’s guests on a voyage of discovery through the latest trends in international gastronomy. The feasting will culminate in June with an appearance by special guest chef, Rene Redzepi, the celebrated genius behind Copenhagen’s two-Michelin star Noma restaurant..
Silvio Ursini, Creative Director of Bulgari Hotels says : “We are very pleased with the way the Bulgari Hotel Milano has matured over the years. The original design by Antonio Citterio was conceived to remain timeless, and this goal has been reinforced by the recent renovations which have been enriched, as always, by Antonio with new ideas and inspirations.”
