Milano
Renaissance convent meets contemporary Milanese design. Terracotta and gray-blue tones, textured velvet, brass finishes, and custom rosewood carpentry throughout. Feels more like a very well-appointed private palazzo than a conventional hotel.

Why It Matters
The only major luxury hotel in Milan built inside an actual 15th-century convent. Rooms with preserved ceiling frescoes painted by Giocondo Albertolli. First Four Seasons in continental Europe. Cloister garden that was once a herb garden for the convent's nuns. Dual-designer interiors — Urquiola in the common areas, Rochon in the rooms.
Four Seasons Hotel Milano opened in 1993 inside a genuine 15th-century convent — the brand's first property in continental Europe. The building still has its ogival vaults, Renaissance frescoes and ancient fireplaces; now they share space with furniture by Poliform and Cassina. In 2025, acclaimed designer Pierre-Yves Rochon completed a full renovation of all 118 rooms and suites, following Patricia Urquiola's 2021 overhaul of the common areas and spa. The result is Milan's most historically significant luxury hotel, sitting squarely in the Quadrilatero della Moda, steps from Via Monte Napoleone.
Where You'll Stay
14 room types available
Cloister Suite
At 80–87 sqm, a spacious suite oriented around the hotel's famous cloister. The name says it all — this is where the convent's monastic architecture is most present. Historic character, generous proportions.
One king bed · 83 sqm
Deluxe Room
At 35–39 sqm, a noticeable step up in space from the Superior. Milanese colour-block design with textured velvet, brass finishes and graphic bookshelves. Sleeps up to 2 adults and 1 infant.
One king bed or two euro-single beds · 37 sqm
Designer Suite
At 91 sqm, the Designer Suite is a showcase of modern Italian form. Distinctive oval windows flood the room with light. Separate bedroom, a distinct work space and a sunlit living room. The oval windows are architectural originals — there's nothing else like them in the building.
One king bed · 91 sqm
Executive Suite
At 58–72 sqm, one of the larger standard suites with separate living and sleeping areas. Ideal for longer business stays or families with a child. The 2025 Rochon redesign is fully in evidence — custom-made Poliform furniture and Rubelli fabrics.
One king bed · 65 sqm
Fashion Suite with Terrace
68 sqm specialty suite with a private terrace — rare in central Milan. The fashion-district name is apt: the hotel's location directly in the Quadrilatero makes this suite ideal for guests here to shop Via Monte Napoleone seriously.
One king bed · 68 sqm
Fresco Suite
The suite everyone asks about. The ceiling carries a genuine fresco painted by Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839) — the same neoclassical artist who decorated parts of the Palazzo Reale. Two large gilt-framed mirrors expand the space. Warm yellows, oranges and golds complete an atmosphere that sits somewhere between a Milanese apartment and a small private museum.
One king bed · 53 sqm
Penthouse Suite with Terrace
At 141 sqm with a private terrace, one of the hotel's grandest rooms. Call-to-book only — no online rate shown. The terrace is the key differentiator; outdoor space is genuinely scarce at this address.
One king bed · 141 sqm
Premium Room
The most popular guest room category. At 39–46 sqm, it's a genuinely generous room for central Milan. Rich fabrics, custom wood fixtures and opulent marble throughout — the Milanese design flair is evident without being loud.
One king bed or two euro-single beds · 42 sqmPremium Room – Garden View
Same category as the Premium Room (39–43 sqm) but oriented toward the hotel's private cloister garden. The view matters here — it's the courtyard that was once a herb garden for the 15th-century convent's nuns.
One king bed · 41 sqmPresidential Suite
The largest suite in the hotel at 177 sqm. Call-to-book only. Designed to function as a genuine Milan apartment for entertaining or extended stays — and at nearly 1,900 square feet, it has the space to deliver on that promise.
One king bed · 177 sqmRenaissance Suite
The suite with the original Renaissance stucco ceiling — a preserved architectural element dating back to the convent's heyday. Pierre-Yves Rochon's redesign kept the canopy bed and garden views front and centre. At 90 sqm with an open studio layout, it functions as a genuine pied-à-terre rather than just a hotel room.
One king bed · 90 sqmStudio Suite
Open-plan studio layout at 48–55 sqm — no separate sitting room, but the space is well-divided and designed for single travelers or couples who prefer one flowing room. Part of the 2025 Rochon renovation.
One king bed · 51 sqmStudio Suite Garden View
The garden-facing version of the Studio Suite, at 48–55 sqm. Positioned in the quietest areas of the hotel. Open-plan and airy — one of the most peaceful rooms in the building, with the cloister courtyard just below.
One king bed or two euro-single beds · 51 sqmSuperior Room
The entry-level room at the Four Seasons Milano. At 29–39 sqm it is the most compact option, but 'compact' is relative here — Pierre-Yves Rochon's 2025 redesign brings the same terracotta and gray-blue palette, custom rosewood carpentry and original preserved marble bathrooms as the upper categories.
