A flagship of international hospitality and landmark for the Milanese, Four Seasons Hotel Milano opened its doors on Via Gesù in 1993.
A former 15th-century convent, the hotel was the brand's first location in continental Europe. Since then, its appearance has evolved in harmony with the city and now pays tribute to Milanese design with its renovated rooms and suites designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon.
The hotel’s 118 rooms and suites have been reimagined by the acclaimed designer known worldwide for his sophisticated style, impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The approach is understated and elegant, offering a precise vision of luxury where every detail finds its place and every material its function in an essential elegance.
Pierre-Yves Rochon emphasizes a balance between heritage and modernity, paying homage to Milan's history and infusing a sense of refined discretion, where every space is designed with precision in a fluid and natural continuity.
The interiors of the rooms and suites stand out for their contemporary interpretation of local heritage, with collaborations with Poliform and Rubelli reinforcing this identity.
The materials take centre stage: textured velvet, brass finishes, and graphic bookshelves create a balanced dialogue. Modernity is expressed through colour block harmonies, with selected tones naturally integrating with the building's history; inspired by the cloister's frescoes, the terracotta and gray-blue shades envelop the rooms in a soft and coherent atmosphere – enhancing the unity between private and common spaces.
Technology is also designed to blend with design, never overshadowing the experience; discreet home automation, furniture with studied proportions: every element contributes to a sense of well-being, in an idea of innovation that is not ostentatious but quietly accompanies the overall experience.
The original marble in the bathrooms has been preserved and enhanced through redesigned sinks. The custom-made carpentry, crafted in rosewood and fine leather, continues the local artisanal tradition. Every bookshelf and custom-designed piece of furniture reflects this desire for continuity, without concessions and without excesses.
Pierre-Yves Rochon's intervention in the rooms and suites thus respects the legacy of this historic address, while at the same time giving it new life.
"In Milan, we wanted to celebrate the great tradition of Italian design, characterized by proper proportions, balance, and authentic materials. Here, nothing is superfluous: every element naturally finds its place, serving comfort and beauty," says Pierre-Yves Rochon.
The specialty suites are iconic, exuding the atmosphere of a true Milanese home, thanks to their character, design, and spaciousness. Among these is the Fresco Suite, with a preserved fresco on the ceiling painted by Giocondo Albertolli (1742–1839), a unique studio suite that invites guests to live in a work of art. The Renaissance Suite, with an open studio-style layout, has a large canopy bed and features an original Renaissance stucco ceiling. With its view onto the garden, the suite enjoys gorgeous natural light.
In addition to these, Four Seasons Hotel Milano also offers five suites ideal for business trips or family vacations, thanks to separate living and sleeping areas or a spacious single area – and different types of rooms for a truly personalized stay.
Pierre-Yves Rochon’s work blends beautifully with the common areas, where in 2021, designer Patricia Urquiola brought Milan’s metropolitan and cosmopolitan character to life, incorporating design elements from Cassina, Aggiolight Custom Lamps, Flos; and iconic pieces from collections of Italian brands such as Cassina, Poliform, Moroso, Poltrona Frau, and Stepevi.
She also designed the SPA, located in the cellar of the former convent, now a temple of well-being and a pioneer of treatments from the most renowned beauty brands.
Four Seasons Hotel Milano thus continues to be an integral part of the vibrant city – increasingly representing it and offering guests a new and timeless contemporary elegance wrapped in personalized service, emblematic of the brand worldwide.
