The Armani Hotel in Milan is a true fashion-lover’s dream. Created by Giorgio Armani himself, his aesthetic and personal style is embodied in every aspect of the hotel. Located just around the corner from the luxury shopping streets of Via Montenapoleone, this is the perfect spot for those wishing to stay in the middle of all the action during Fashion Week.
The hotel is designed to be a “home-away-from-home” which is in line with the Armani philosophy. From the moment of booking to the time of arrival, your lifestyle manager is there to ensure that all your requirements are anticipated discreetly. From customized spa treatments to personal shoppers, your lifestyle manager almost seems like your invisible fairy godmother.
The 95 guestrooms of this spectacular hotel are both sensual and simple, and to stay in a room personally designed by Giorgio Armani is a gift within itself. Our favorite room in the house is the Armani Signature Suite. Not only does the grand winding staircase make you feel as if you’re in an actual home, the suite comes will a full-service bar, private gym, cinema, and spacious living room. So actually, we take it back, this may be better than your own home! Each room also comes with Armani amenities; sigh, if only it came with Armani clothing.
On the top floor of the exquisite Armani Hotel, is the 1,000 square meter Armani/Spa. A relaxed, quiet, and calm space, this wellness spa overlooks the Duomo Cathedral, The spa features many different treatments and a magnificent relaxation pool with a glass roof and walls. The spa comes with 3 different types of therapies: MU (for stillness), Libertà (for freedom), or Fluidità (for fluidity). My personal favorite is the Fluidità massage for energizing and travel recovery; I’m always looking for ways to battle the jetlag!
On the 7th floor you will find the Armani/Ristorante and the Armani/Bamboo Bar. The Armani/Ristorante has simply divine food and features a unique Enoteca with an impeccable selection of wines. Opt for the Chef’s table and tasting menu, whatever he cooks up will make your taste buds smile. The Armani/Bamboo has such fantastic cocktails; it may just make you want to dance your way over to Armani/Privè, the nightclub by Armani. Whatever your reason for traveling to Milan, this is definitely the place you should stay.
