Open since August 2003, the Park Hyatt Milan is a luxurious hotel situated on Via Tommaso Grossi at the heart of Milan, Italy, just a few steps away from Piazza del Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Teatro alla Scala, the La Scala theatre, the centre of the city’s financial area and its famous fashion district, the ‘Golden Triangle’.
The hotel, Hyatt’s first property in Italy, has 118 rooms, including 30 suites, all of which feature multimedia and wireless connectivity technology, luxury bathrooms and a mini bar.
Set in a palatial and historic building that dates from the 1870s, the Park Hyatt Milano features a bar with an outdoor terrace, a restaurant specialising in classic Italian and regional cuisine, and Club Olympus, a health spa and fitness centre, equipped with the latest fitness technology.
As well as a lobby lounge, where guests and non-residents can relax, the hotel also incorporates 240m² of meeting and reception space, with function rooms designed for small business meetings (ten to 100 people). The hotel also offers a fully equipped business and communication centre.
Park Hyatt Milano’s interiors
The Park Hyatt Milano hotel’s interiors were designed by Ed Tuttle, who is renowned for his work at Park Hyatt Paris-Vendome.
Tuttle created an interior that combines the original 19th-century Milanese style with a contemporary approach. For example, Gerhard Richter’s 1968 painting of Milan Cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo is hung in a prominent position in the lobby lounge.
Italian Travertine stone is used throughout the building. The carpet forms a cruciform shape, and is woven in colours designed to match four rose granite urns in the lobby. Decoration is simple but rich in colour, with heavy silks in Imperial yellow and aubergine covering walnut backed banquettes.
Chairs are overlaid in stamped velvet by Sabina Fay Braxton, and tables of gunmetal, walnut and glass contribute to the sense of space.
Lobby tea lounge, restaurant and bar
Seating 70 guests, the La Cupola Lobby Lounge occupies a central position in the hotel, where guests can take breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea or a glass of champagne. Located under a soaring cupola, the Lobby Lounge features the use of Milanese Travertine stone, combined with fine wood and mirrors to create a relaxing, open environment. This is the hotel’s main meeting place and is located under a 9m-high glass dome, flooded by natural daylight. It is enriched by the Lucio Fontana sculpture, The Medusa’s Head.
The signature restaurant, The Park Restaurant, which seats up to 65 guests, specialises in classic Italian dishes and incorporates the local cuisine of the Lombardian region and the freshest farm produce. The menu is seasonal. Walnut chairs and armchairs are covered in silk and cotton chenille by Jim Thompson. Artist Kim Rebholz created panels of pastel colour tones to bring a sense of lightness to the room. In 2011, the renovation of the restaurant was completed with furnishings using warm colours and new materials to create a calm ambience.
The L-shaped Park Bar has an indoor seating capacity of 31 guests, and features an outside terrace seating 29 guests on Via Silvio Pellico. The bar is furnished with black leather seats and circular gunmetal tables, has floor to ceiling windows opening onto the Galleria and has a gunmetal finish on bronze and glass shelving, generating a Milanese atmosphere. It is an ideal venue for a pre-dinner drink or an afternoon coffee.
