Four Seasons Hotel Milano Unveils Two New Suites, Created by Designer Pierre-Yves Rochon: The Spectacular Presidential Suite and the Contemporary Designer Suite

Last summer, Four Seasons Hotel Milano unveiled the major restyling of its rooms and suites, bringing Pierre Yves-Rochon's signature style to the city again and paying tribute to the Milanese design heritage.

The 118 rooms and suites at Four Seasons Hotel Milano have been completely redesigned by the acclaimed designer. Guests can still recognize the hotel's timeless style, immersed in a new vibe created by Rochon’s return – the designer had already renovated some rooms of the hotel – thanks to a new design and new details.

The Presidential Suite

Today, the new Presidential Suite is unveiled, the hotel's flagship 177-square metre (1,905 square foot) suite, located in its dedicated wing within the private courtyard. This suite combines avant-garde style with historic details, such as a wooden ceiling and a black marble fireplace. Different materials and fabrics, from wool to bouclé, leather and wooden surfaces, come together in a space based on sensitivity and tactile quality.

The suite's art collection includes a series of four engravings by Giampietro Zanotti (1674–1765), whose images depict details of a ceiling fresco originally painted by Pellegrino Tibaldi and Niccolò Abbati for Palazzo Poggi (Bologna). The library features artistic objects created by artists and designers, including Paola Paronetto and Federica Bubani, as well as Murano glass vases and objects, while the porcelain and gold leaf installations were created by Italian ceramist Arianna De Luca.

The suite also features a private kitchen and a large living area. The bedroom, dressing room and bathroom come together in a coherent and intimate ambiance, divided by the living area according to a residential aesthetic. The bathroom distinguishes itself for its contemporary design and the expressive use of Breccia Calacatta marble, characterised by red and aubergine veins. The geometric floor gives strength and identity to the space.

The colours are elegant, the artwork is all from Italy, the linens are by Frette and the textiles by Rubelli. A suite, but also a true private residence within the hotel, the Presidential Suite is perfect for hosting private dinners, aperitifs, or business meetings in the spacious living room – also thanks to a perfectly integrated cocktail bar, which features a counter, wine storage and dedicated equipment.

The Designer Suite

An ode to contemporary Italian design, the Designer Suite - 91 square metres (979 square feet) - is a bright and sophisticated space that combines aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. The iconic oval windows allow the suite to benefit from natural light, enhancing the spacious and well-defined areas of the bedroom, living area and workspace. The living room, also ideal for an additional guest or family, is completed by a foldaway bed, an elegant bathroom and a spacious walk-in closet. The fabrics are by Rubelli and Dedar, the inspirations from Italian design of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies are all around, with references to Zanotta, Gio Ponti and Fornasetti – his iconic framed porcelain plates – which naturally insert themselves in a coherent storytelling.

Wooden floors, custom-made carpets, and Frette sheets create a warm and refined atmosphere, while the large Carrara marble bathroom with a deep bathtub is made for moments of pure relaxation. Near the bedroom, a library inspired by Charlotte Perriand’s vocabulary introduces a more architectonic and functional dimension.

The original marble in the bathrooms of all suites has been preserved and enhanced with redesigned sinks; the woodwork is custom-made and continues the local artisan tradition.

It is an iconic suite, designed as a luminous and liveable urban pied-à-terre, where guests can experience Milan in style.

Like the Fresco and Renaissance Suites, the Presidential and Designer Suite blend seamlessly with the history of the building, with every colour choice reinforcing the unity between private and common spaces. Each element contributes to an idea of innovation that quietly but elegantly accompanies the hospitality experience.

Pierre-Yves Rochon's intervention thus continues to respect the history of the building, at the same time giving it a new lease of life.

Four Seasons Hotel Milano continues to be a landmark in Milan, part of the history and future of high-end hospitality in the capital of fashion, design, and lifestyle, which today also dictates many international trends with its contemporary, timeless elegance.
