Rocco Forte Hotels has announced the opening of Rocco Forte House Milan, a collection of 11 apartments housed in a 19th-century palazzo on Via Manzoni. Olga Polizzi, director of design for the group, worked in collaboration with Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen to design these apartments.
The 19th-century palazzo, overlooking the Via della Spiga, includes original stuccos, ceilings adorned with frescoes and antique furniture on the Noble Floor—a reflection of the city’s wealthy past. In contrast, large glass windows and terraces can be found in the more contemporary style of the upper-floor apartments.
Each apartment overlooks a traditional Milanese courtyard. The apartments have been named after four of the most iconic areas of the center of Milan: Brera, Duomo, Isola and Tortona. In addition to their unique design, the residences are characterized by the service, concierge, valet and chef, besides a gym for the sole use of guests.
Charles Forte, director of development and new acquisitions who has been operating in the luxury hospitality branch of the Forte family company in the business for four generations, said: “We are thrilled to open Rocco Forte House Milan introducing a new concept to the city, that combines the intimacy of a private home with the service Rocco Forte Hotels is known for. Following the great success of Rocco Forte House Rome, and in response to the market’s desire for residence-style living, the one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments allow guests to prioritize privacy without compromising on their experience.”
