The Carlton Milan

The hotel is a true gem in the perfect location in Milan. The staff was world-class professional, and I found the concierge to be very attentive and helpful throughout my visit. My room was beautifully appointed, and the welcoming peaches were a lovely touch. I also much appreciated having my preferred newspaper, the Financial Times, available each day. My business dinner at Spiga was incredible; the ossobuco ravioli and the pan-fried sole were spectacular highlights. I especially want to acknowledge the exceptional service provided by Giacomo, which made the evening truly memorable. I also enjoyed cocktails in The Carlton Bar and found the Riflettori to be one of the most interesting, glamorous, and sophisticated drinks I have had anywhere in the world. The Irene Forte Spa was a standout experience as well. The Peptide Power Facial was the most decadent 90 minutes I have spent in a long time. I particularly appreciated the Irene Forte Spa products provided during the turndown service, and I have returned home with a suitcase full of products that I cannot stop talking about.

WOW. The Carlton Milan is one of the best Rocco Forte hotels in the portfolio. The location is A+ — right on Via Spiga, the pedestrian-only shopping street at the heart of the Golden Triangle. For perspective, both the Portrait and the Four Seasons are about a block away. Done up in Art-Deco Futurismo, expect ample lacquer, classic geometrics, and the trademark Olga Polizzi splashes of color. Breakfast and lunch are served in a conservatory — a glassed-in courtyard wrapped in lush greenery — while the bar is super chic, with a creative cocktail menu inspired by the past five decades. The place to be, though, is the outdoor patio, which in spring and summer rivals the Four Seasons and Bvlgari gardens. Rooms are spacious, and this is one of the only hotels in Milan where every room category offers the possibility of an outdoor terrace. The Spiga restaurant runs a touch stuffy — maybe too fussy for the property — but you're in Milan, so you'll be going out anyway. The lobby and ground-floor restaurants carry a genuine Art-Deco glam factor, while the rooms are classic Olga Polizzi fab — oozing personality in an elegant, sophisticated way. The smallest room is 350 sq ft, but most hover around 550 sq ft, and three floors have step-out balconies, something rare in Milan. Five-fixture marble bathrooms come with all the modern accoutrements you'd expect. Rooms are offered in one of four color schemes: I prefer the green, which has the most pop; the charcoal and burnt orange are more subtle; and I least like the red-white-and-blue, 70s Americana vibe.

Two incredible days at The Carlton, surrounded by such an elegant atmosphere right in the middle of the Fashion District! The rooms are quiet and wonderfully furnished, shaped by the stylish and colourful touch that only RF can give! But what really made our stay truly unforgettable is their exceptional Team, everyone is extremely welcoming and ready to do their utmost to make your days special. Thank you Gaia from the Concierge, Ciro IRD, Sara, Juan & Rosario from the Bar, Giacomo from the Breakfast, and all you amazing Team!! We will be back for sure!!

My stay at The Carlton Hotel exceeded every expectation. What made it truly special was not only the breathtaking beauty of the property and its exceptional location, but also the genuine warmth, professionalism, and care shown by every member of the team. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, valued, and truly looked after. It is rare to find a place where luxury feels so effortless and hospitality so sincere. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the people who made this stay unforgettable: the Front Desk, Guest Relations, Room Service, Concierge, the Café, Restaurant and Bar teams, the Kitchen Brigade, Housekeeping, PR, Events Team… Please, forgive me if I have unintentionally omitted anyone. The truth is that every single member of staff I encountered was extraordinary. People often speak about feeling at home while enjoying the very highest standards of luxury. Here this promise becomes a reality. This is not simply a Luxury five-star hotel; it is a place where elegance, impeccable hospitality, and genuine care come together seamlessly to create something truly unforgettable. I leave with wonderful memories. I cannot wait to return. Giovanni
