The Carlton Milan opens today, marking the debut of Rocco Forte Hotels‘ tenth Italian address. With seventy-one suites and rooms, two restaurants, a bar, and a serene spa, the hotel redefines one of the city’s most prestigious locations.
Designed by architects Philip Vergeylen and Paolo Moschino, the extensive €60-million renovation was carried out under the creative direction of Olga Polizzi, the group’s Deputy Chair and Director of Design. With entrances on Via Senato 5 and Via della Spiga 8, the hotel blends tradition with contemporary design, bold palettes and Art Deco detail.
Rooted in Fulvio Pierangelini’s culinary ethos, the hotel’s gastronomic offering spans three distinct yet complementary spaces in the heart of Milan’s Fashion District. At Spiga, Chef Pierangelini delivers refined simplicity with a menu that shifts with the seasons and celebrates the finest local ingredients.
With an entrance on Via della Spiga, Cafe Floretta brings together botanical-inspired interiors with natural light flooding through the domed glass roof. It is the perfect convivial hub for events, social gatherings and informal get-togethers, offering a creative all day menu.
The Carlton Bar pays homage to Italy’s aperitivo culture, with signature creations by renowned mixologist Salvatore Calabrese that draw inspiration from the creative energy defining Milan between the 1960s and 1980s. The Carlton garden is set to open in Spring 2026.
The Irene Forte Spa is a 280-square-metre wellness sanctuarywhere bio-innovation meets ancestral healing and the regenerative powers of nature. The spa features treatment rooms, a nail salon, and the Thermal & Relaxation Suite, complete with sauna, steam room, sensory showers and sound beds. The Forte Vita Bar, designed for results-driven express treatments, and an all-day fitness centre is the perfect cosmopolitan complement to the spa.
