Sina De La Ville: The Perfect Facial
Tucked away from the crowds yet located in Milan’s historic center, Sina De La Ville offers an ideal retreat for discerning travelers. The hotel strikes a balance between classic and contemporary design, with rooms that combine style and intimacy without feeling cramped. Don’t miss the relaxing hot tub on the 5th floor, which rewards guests with spectacular Duomo views — a rare perspective in the city center.
The Spa
Designed by wellness expert Angelo Caroli, who created his own unique wellbeing methodology and natural skincare line, the spa offers a comprehensive wellness experience. Facilities include a therapeutic water path, Finnish sauna, and Turkish bath, complemented by signature treatments ranging from luxurious “diamond facials” to effective body toning therapies.
The Super Moisturizing Anti-Age Facial with Hyaluronic Acid stands out as both effective and deeply relaxing. This treatment combines mandelic and hyaluronic acids to remove dull skin and accelerate cell turnover. The skin looks visibly refreshed and radiant afterward. A thoughtful touch: while your face absorbs nutrients from the specialized mask, a dopamine-boosting foot massage brings a sense of complete relaxation.
Portrait Milan: Authentic Wellness
Following an ambitious renovation, Portrait Milan has transformed a former ancient Seminary into one of the city’s most iconic five-star properties. Positioned right in the heart of Milan’s fashion district, the hotel reimagines its historic structure with contemporary elegance that complements its trendy surroundings. This urban resort delivers quintessential Italian hospitality while honoring its architectural heritage.
The Spa
The hotel’s crown jewel is The Longevity Spa, recognized as one of Milan’s premier spa destinations among wellness connoisseurs. Here, clinical anti-aging expertise merges with traditional wisdom and cutting-edge holistic health innovations.
Drawing inspiration from the world’s five “Blue Zones” (regions with the highest longevity rates) the spa offers unique Signature Rituals that capture the wellness traditions of these areas. Each ritual delivers a multi-sensory wellness journey combining advanced technology, expert manual techniques, custom music, aromatic therapies, and ingredients native to each longevity region. Guests often report feeling rejuvenated and, as many say, “at least 10 years younger” after their treatments.
Mandarin Oriental Milan: Highly Bespoke Luxury
Occupying four interconnected 18th-century buildings, the Mandarin Oriental Milan features 104 elegantly appointed rooms that honor the brand’s Asian heritage while celebrating local culture. This fusion manifests most visibly through the hotel’s partnership with legendary Italian design atelier Fornasetti.
The private dining room of two-Michelin-star restaurant Seta (Saletta Duomo) showcases custom Fornasetti designs in captivating turquoise tones, with the signature Lina Cavalieri face appearing throughout. Design enthusiasts can immerse themselves fully in the Fornasetti Suite, where bold red colors and whimsical elements create an extraordinary sensory experience.
The Spa
The 900-square-meter spa blends ancient traditions with modern techniques, with design influenced by the five elements of Chinese Feng Shui. Dimmed lighting, water features, and warm wooden elements create an atmosphere of tranquility and exotic escape. The large swimming pool becomes particularly inviting after a busy day exploring Milan’s vibrant streets.
The spa menu features an impressive selection of holistic treatments, including facials by luxury skincare innovator 111Skin. All experiences begin with an in-depth consultation where skilled therapists assess individual needs before customizing treatments that deliver both deep relaxation and visible results.
Magna Pars: An Olfactory Sensation
Once a perfume factory, now a scented sanctuary, Magna Pars, L’Hotel à Parfum offers a unique concept in Milan’s hospitality landscape. Each of the 68 suites draws inspiration from a specific olfactory note: bergamot, oud, vetiver and more. Guests participate in an “olfactory check-in,” testing various fragrances before selecting their favorite and staying in the corresponding essence-themed suite. The sensory journey continues through specialized literature and art pieces displayed throughout the property.
For those seeking deeper immersion, the in-house perfume laboratory LabSolue allows guests to create custom signature scents, while the bar serves “olfactive aperitivo” — cocktails inspired by fragrance profiles that somehow really work.
The Spa
The spa specializes in aromatherapy massages using the hotel’s proprietary essential oils. Each essence possesses distinct properties, with therapists guiding guests through selection to create truly personalized body and facial treatments. The result is a calming multi-sensory experience that, when combined with a session in the steam room, delivers the perfect mind-body reset after navigating Milan’s busy streets.
Park Hyatt Milano: The Quick Fix
Just steps from the Duomo, the recently renovated Park Hyatt Milan offers understated elegance within a historic 19th-century building. The hotel’s Signature Suites (Duomo, Montenapoleone and Brera) feature expansive terraces and panoramic views of Milan’s distinctive skyline.
The property’s architectural centerpiece is the nine-meter-high glass dome in La Cupola Lobby Lounge, inspired by the nearby Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. Flooded with natural light during the day, the space transforms each evening with soft illumination and ambient music, creating the perfect atmosphere for dining or unwinding under what feels like a starlit sky.
The Spa
AQVAM SPA serves as an urban sanctuary centered around a striking golden mosaic Jacuzzi. The spa specializes in efficient, results-driven treatments for time-pressed travelers, built around the concept of “Beautiful Now.” The highlight is their facial treatments using endothermics technology, which produces near-immediate results by stimulating collagen production. Their “Jet Lag” treatment quickly rejuvenates tired skin — perfect for visitors needing a refresh between Milan’s social events.
Château Monfort: Total Escape
Housed in a stunning Art Nouveau building from the early 1900s, the five-star Château Monfort is the creation of Paolo Mezzanotte, the architectural mind behind Milan’s iconic Stock Exchange. This property masterfully blends historic elegance with fantasy — its exterior showcases intricate period details, while interiors transport guests to a theatrical dreamland inspired by fairytales, opera, and ballet, all reimagined with contemporary whimsy.
The Spa
The Amore e Psiche SPA, inspired by the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, creates genuine tranquility through warm earthy tones, stone walls, ambient lighting, and shimmering mosaics. Treatments are designed in collaboration with luxury French brand Cinq Mondes, drawing from global beauty rituals such as the Polynesian Ritual: a 50-minute tropical immersion featuring silky scrubs with sugar and coconut, warm volcanic stone massage and rich balms infused with sacred Tahitian oils.
The signature “Amore e Psiche” treatment begins with a full-body scrub, followed by a relaxing session in the gold and midnight blue Hydrosuite Jacuzzi, concluding with a gentle massage that elevates relaxation to its peak. Many guests say they practically float out of the spa after this comprehensive experience.
