Bulgari Hotel Milan

Those lucky enough to stay in the Bulgari Hotel Milan can enjoy its verdant private gardens, incredible spa, top restaurants and sumptuous bedrooms, and the luxury hotel is one of the finest in the city. The hotel is set in a private garden in Milan’s artists’ quarter and is the perfect place to get away from it all while still being in the city centre. The hotel’s interior pays homage to contemporary Italian design, with black marble, floor-to-ceiling windows and oak fittings. It is the garden, however, believed to date back to the 1300s, that is the real draw.
