What Italia’s fashion capital Milano lacks in the ancient architecture and old masters stakes, it sure makes up for in the style department – and we don’t just mean clothes!
Porta Nuova’s glammy Palazzo Parigi is just one of the city’s most fabulous stays, and incoming chic hunters could do a lot worse than its vintage-inspired, antique art-splashed quarters when they get to town.
Feeling ever so Milan-meets-Paris, Parigi’s handsomely appointed, gleaming greige suites come complete with private terraces, century-old courtyard or pretty city views, free WiFi, 48” LCD TVs, media docking stations, and all-marble bathrooms – be sure to request one with a sunken tub for ultimate post-10 Corso Como shop-a-thon relaxation. Indulge at the Grand Spa, take afternoon aperitivi at buzzy Caffè Parigi, then rubs shoulders with the culinary cognoscenti at Carlo Cracco’s ultra swish (if unimaginatively monikered) Gastronomic Restaurant. Who needs Michelangelo?
