One of the Italian design capital’s top hotels, Park Hyatt Milan, is celebrating 20 years of hosting both locals and guests with the completion of a multi-year transformation.

For the past 20 years, Park Hyatt Milan has been welcoming guests into its sumptuous guest spaces and buzzy public venues occupying this 1870-built landmark. Set alongside the city’s iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II—Italy’s oldest active shopping gallery—the hotel places you right at the heart of this fashion and design capital’s historic center, just moments from the many-spired Duomo di Milano.

Since 2020, this landmark urban retreat has undergone a property-wide transformation, with the re-imagination of its guest accommodation, AQVAM Spa and common areas (including the newly created fine dining restaurant Pellico 3 Milano) all revealed in 2022, and a collection of new signature suites now completing the full hotel update. Visit the hotel now and you’ll see a fresh new look across much of its opulent interiors.

As the property celebrates the completion of its phased re-design, the focus falls on its newest luxury accommodation options, the palatial Duomo, Montenapoleone, Brera, Solferino and Fiori Chiari signature suites. This is where you want to stay for the ultimate Park Hyatt Milan experience.

The renowned Italian architect, Flaviano Capriotti (who also designed the interiors of Mio Lab cocktail bar and the restaurant Pellico 3 Milano) led the design of these five distinct suites, which are each named after a site or district of Milan.

Inspired by the idea of a serene retreat amid the cityscape, as well as the modernity of Italy’s great post-second-world-war architects, Capriotti transformed these sprawling hideaways with references to Milan and nearby regions of Italy. Green Verdi Alpi marble features alongside Italian walnut and furnishings by prominent Italian designers feature throughout.

The hotel’s Duomo and Montenapoleone suites are located on the top (sixth) floor, with expansive living areas leading out to private outdoor terraces and a Jacuzzi also built into the Duomo suite’s outdoor area. A highlight of the hotel’s biggest suite, Montenapoleone, is its statement double-sided fireplace set at the heart of the lounge area.

On the second floor, the Brera suite overlooks the hotel’s 19th-century glass-domed courtyard, while the slightly smaller Solferino and Fiori Chiari suites mirror each other, with the Fiori Chiari suite also featuring a balcony overlooking the city center. Each of these suites comes with the same style language and use of locally sourced materials.
