Why Casa Baglioni Milan Should Be Your Next City Break

Beautifully curated, gorgeously furnished, and with a rooftop opening this month, Casa Baglioni Milan is the perfect seasonal escape

Located in the vibrant Brera neighbourhood of Milan, with its plethora of museums, galleries, design houses, and luxury boutiques, Casa Baglioni welcomes guests to experience the beating pulse of elegant Milanese living. Having opened its doors in early 2023, the property has already become a Milan Fashion Week hot spot, as well as a popular destination for culinary experiences and cultural happenings.

Its elegant Art Deco townhouse-like exterior, featuring gold lettering on a solid black facade, pays testament to the Liberty-style building from 1913, and is suggestive of a design-led ethos inspired by sophisticated, quiet luxury.

Simultaneously discreet and inviting, the refined interiors takes their cue from the artistic and cultural energy of their architectural, eclectic surroundings and draw inspiration from the art and design era of 1960’s Milan. From the lobby and the array of spacious rooms and standout signature suites, to the restaurant helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Claudio Sadler, spaces are beautifully curated and furnished with custom creations, all designed by leading Milanese architects Spagnulo & Partners — think walnut combined with brass and marble, upholstered fabrics featuring geometric patterns, and Italian herringbone parquet floors. Intricate design details include lighting designed by Panzeri, wallpaper by Rubelli, furnishings by Rubelli Casa, fabrics by Dedar, and taps and fittings by Zucchetti Kos.

The hotel also features selected artistic works from the likes of Enrico Castellani, Agostino Bonalumi, Carla Accardi, Hans Hartung, Christo, and Milanese designer Gala Rotelli, whose Cromie Domestiche collection features a symphony of metalwork, colourful glass, and hand-decorated ceramics in simple, archetypal forms, with vivid primary and secondary colours.

The overall effect is one of a sophisticated Milanese residence —elegant and refined, but also welcoming. It’s a key tenet of the property and reflected in its choice of name, ‘Casa’. It’s also a philosophy embraced by Casa Baglioni Milan’s exceptional staff, who maintain a perfect equilibrium between professionalism and friendliness, so that returning to the property really does feel like a homecoming.

Accommodation highlights include the Terrace Suite, characterized by a bright living area with large windows and a beautiful outdoor area offering views of the Brera district, and the sixth floor Leonardo Suite, a gorgeous apartment-style space with an intimate living area, a luxurious bedroom boasting skyline views, and a decadent marble bathroom with a bathtub and spacious rain shower. For those seeking ultimate luxury, the Brera Presidential Suite offers a magnificent private terrace, floor-to-ceiling windows, an inviting living area, a spacious bedroom and an elegant bathroom.

Elsewhere, Sadler, Casa Baglioni’s fine dining restaurant led by the eponymous Chef Claudio Sadler, has seen the property become a culinary destination for seasoned Milanese diners and travellers alike. With a philosophy that reinvigorates the traditions of classic Italian regional cuisine with a contemporary, unique twist, the restaurant’s menu centres on modern cuisine, skillfully reinterpreting the great classics of Italian tradition with vision and panache, led by seasonal ingredients. Like much of the property, the restaurant is intimate; so that guests embarking on a culinary adventure feel part of a highly personal experience.

Another property highlight is its stunning seasonal Milanese rooftop bar: Casa Baglioni Rooftop by Sadler. Open during the balmy summer months and enjoying its status as the only rooftop bar in the Brera district serving Michelin-starred gastronomy including light dishes and aperitifs from Chef Sadler, the Paola Lenti designed space features signature fabrics, stainless steel side tables, modular rugs woven with Twitape yarn, and contemporary lounge chairs and sofas alongside expansive 360-degree views. Lively and vibrant but with the same warm intimacy that pervades Casa Baglioni, it’s a hub for the creative and fashion communities of Brera and beyond and a hot ticket for anyone in town.

For travellers looking to stay in one of Milan’s most prestigious and prettiest areas, whilst also enjoying the intimacy and warmth of home, Casa Baglioni is an ideal prospect. A short stroll from the district’s many creative destinations, it allows visitors to take the time to really explore the surroundings, to discover new spaces and to see the city through fresh eyes; to feel less like tourists and more like locals; a liberating experience in a busy city. More than anything Casa Baglioni proves, once again, that home is where the heart is.
