A marvellous restaurant and bar take place over the rooftop helmed by chefs Vincenzo and Antonio Lebano, the two brothers who are responsible for the traditional Italian recipes with a modern flair.

Palazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa

Palazzo Parigi Hotel is one of the most beautiful and elegant hotels we have ever seen. This delightful property is a few minutes from the fashion district and from the best places to visit. This hotel was designed by Paola Giambelli, the Italian architect and owner, who offered the place an intimate touch blended with luxury that we can find all over the place.

In Palazzo Parigi Hotel you will be lucky to immerse yourself through the authentic Milanese gastronomy in the inspiring spaces of the dining and bar area; be part of a world-class exclusivity in the accommodation, while getting the best of Milan’s skyline views.

With 106 bedrooms, this hotel is pet-friendly (yes, you can bring your best friends!) and features a delicious restaurant and a cocktail bar. Also, you can participate in gastronomic events of food and wine (there’s a chance for you to level up your cooking skills!).

When it comes to design, Park Hyatt Milano is elegant and spacious. You will find meticulous attention to detail with local influences allowed to emerge, making it unique. Ed Tuttle gathered the best high-end artisans for the fabrics and materials, and Flaviano Capriotti gave it away from his distinctive Italian flavour on the bar design.

Berton Ristorante

Following the chef’s philosophy, Berton Ristorante is intimate, rigorous and elegant, where the kitchen is the heart of the restaurant, and the clients are the soul. Andrea Berton is back in the kitchen highlighting his tasting menu of modern Italian cuisine.

Located in the neighbourhood of Porta Nuova Varesine, conceived by Kohn Pedersen Fox, Berton was designed by Vudafieri Saverino, in 2013. This design studio gave life to a composition of materials such as paper, wood, cement and metal to create a love story about food and design, where gastronomy is preponderant in a soothing atmosphere where large windows let as much natural light in as possible.

A modern and linear location that reflects an elegant and minimalistic cuisine.
