Located at Via Palestro 24 and overlooking one of Milan’s oldest parks, the Indro Montanelli Gardens, Casa Cipriani Milano evokes the elegant and comfortable atmosphere of traditional English gentlemen’s clubs, enriched with touches of Italian classicism.
The project includes 15 Rooms & Suites and a Private Club featuring a Restaurant with a spacious terrace, the Pickering Room, and the Living Room — all designed by Florentine designer Michele Bönan. Additionally, the Wellness & Fitness Center, a small oasis in the heart of the city, was conceived by Studio Apostoli.
