The decor is just like a chocolate box, a rich combination of browns, blacks and whites all juxtaposed to create the perfect scene. The staff are all dressed in super smart uniforms and are never seen with a hair out of place, although behind this smart, professional facade it is possible to see the friendly, caring personalities of the staff as they welcome you in.

Each room looks out onto the botanical gardens or a private courtyard, allowing guests to experience the calmness of outside from the comfort of their rooms.
If the decadence and refinement are not enough for you then the hotel also houses a spa and wellness center where guests can indulge their bodies and spirits in the harmonious atmosphere of the spa. The spa is the perfect example of how well Bulgari do simple elegance. The glass walls of the spa act as a daylight filter, only letting in light up to a certain level to create the relaxed, zen like feeling that is very much needed. The daylight then creates a sparkling effect on the pure gold tiles that line the pool which gives the impression the guests have died and gone to heaven.
There is also a bar in the hotel which draws a voguish crowd of business people, Japanese couples and yummy mummy types to it's tables every night. It is the perfect place to watch the elite of Milan whilst you sip your cocktails. No trip to this hotel is complete without a trip to the bar.
