Mandarin Oriental, Milan
An urban retreat channelling 18th-century grandeur
After a hotly anticipated launch, the Mandarin Oriental has finally come to fruition just a few steps away from La Scala. Set inside four elegant 18th-century buildings, the hotel features 104 rooms by star designer Antonio Citterio, who fused Italian style with oriental touches. Complete with a 900sq m holistic spa and an eclectic choice of restaurants overseen by multi-starred chef Antonio Guida, Milan’s Mandarin Oriental is the perfect urban retreat.
