Portrait Milano: A Seminary Reborn in the Fashion Quarter

Portrait Milano is one of the most talked-about hotels in Italy, set inside Milan's oldest archiepiscopal seminary on Corso Venezia in the heart of the fashion quadrilateral. Part of the Ferragamo family's Lungarno Collection and a Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, its restoration opened up a grand colonnaded courtyard as a new public piazza for the city.

The dining is a scene in its own right. Beefbar Milano brings a glamorous take on the steakhouse under chef Thierry Paludetto, with Italian comfort classics; and the all-day 10_11 serves timeless Italian dishes in a secret garden or under the vaulted colonnade.

For a design-led, see-and-be-seen Milan stay, Portrait Milano is a standout.
