A New Hotel Just Opened in Milan's Fashion District in Time for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games

"It's been a long time coming. Rocco Forte acquired the former Casa Baglioni Milan hotel five years ago and embarked on a $70 million top-to-bottom renovation, even adding two additional floors. Lady Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte's deputy chair and director of design, led the revamp, which brought the vision of architects Philip Vergeylen and Paolo Moschino (not related to the fashion house) to life. Now, as the group's 10th Italian outpost, the hotel offers 71 guest rooms and suites, plus two restaurants, two bars, and a spa right in the heart of Milan's fashion district."

"The hotel boasts two entrances-one on Via Senato and the other on busy Via della Spiga, one of the district's four major shopping thoroughfares. Throughout, residential design elements harken back to the building's former life as a palatial noble home. Paintings and sculptures by notable artists, along with antiques sourced from Polizzi's global travels, lend a curated vibe to the spaces."
