Mandarin Oriental debuted the art of oriental hospitality in the heart of the city with the opening of Mandarin Oriental, Milan this summer. Located just a few steps from the fashionable Via Manzoni and Via Montenapoleone, the intimate and contemporary hotel is housed within four elegantly redeveloped 18^th-century buildings close to the city’s most important commercial, fashion and cultural centers.

Blending contemporary Italian design with timeless Oriental luxury and service, the property offers 104 elegant guestrooms and suites. Executive Chef Antonio Guida, formerly of the 2-Michelin-starred restaurant Il Pellicano in Tuscany, presides over the hotel’s fine-dining restaurant Seta, offering a menu of sophisticated, contemporary dishes combining French, Asian and Tuscan influences. The restaurant offers alfresco dining in its Courtyard as well as year-round seating indoors.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Milan is a relaxing, holistic retreat, with six treatment rooms, two couple’s suites and a dedicated Thai massage room. In addition, there is a world-class hair salon headed by celebrity stylist Massimo Serini, a manicure and pedicure studio, a beauty studio, an indoor heated swimming pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
