Where priests once studied, design lovers now stay: the Portrait Milano is not just a hotel, but a small sensation in the heart of the Quadrilatero della Moda. As soon as you step through the monumental baroque gate, the hustle and bustle of the city falls away like a cloak. A majestic inner courtyard spreads out before you, which was closed for centuries – today a public square full of Milanese lifestyle. The former bishop’s seminary from 1565 has been restored with the utmost care by star architect Michele De Lucchi. Original details, noble materials, understated luxury: everything here exudes calm and style. The 73 rooms and suites look like elegant Milanese city apartments with velvet, walnut wood and marble – a touch of Hollywood glamor without being artificial. The lobby is a lively meeting place for guests and Milanese creatives. The Portrait team knows every insider tip, organizes museum tickets or tables at Cracco’s – with discreet understatement and genuine cordiality. Whether it’s a cappuccino under the arcades, a stroll through the hotel’s own boutiques or a visit to the spa under historic columns: The Portrait Milano is a quiet, luxurious experience with soul.
