This hotel is set in a palatial, classical building that dates from 1870. The interior architecture and design is by Ed Tuttle, well known for his work at the recently opened Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme. Tuttle's vision was to create a feeling of tranquillity, luxury and dignity throughout the hotel. To do so, he kept the ceilings high and the spaces large, supporting the sense of abundant reach with clean, sharp lines. His muted colour palette, luxury fabrics and generous use of travertine stone all contribute to the sense of timeless, gracious simplicity throughout the public areas. The 117 spacious guest rooms are designed in a contemporary style with a classical edge, expressed through high ceilings, simple lines and precious materials. Column-like panels of travertine are patterned with a jet-black inlay to give the stone a feeling of greater depth. Each guest room has a spacious living area, state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen video systems and complimentary high-speed Internet access. Refined and innovative, the hotel's main restaurant, "The Park," is decorated with Kim Rebohlz's pastel artworks and offers hotel guests a seasonal Italian cuisine, featuring the freshest of local farm produce. Meanwhile, the Park Bar is vibrant and stunning, the perfect place to end a busy day with an aperitivo - a symbol of the Milanese lifestyle. The ideal place to unwind and relax, the hotel bar has large floor-to-ceiling windows opening onto the Galleria, black leather seats and travertine walls.
