Accommodations |
The rooms and the suites, all different to one another, have period furniture which has been fondly restored. Each room or suite is characterised by a style of its own, at times nineteenth-century, at others art nouveau or art deco. Flooring is in superior parquetry. The large bathrooms have been restructured with the use of the very best Italian marble. Precious fabrics, objets d'art and modern day comfort blend harmoniously in this sumptuous yet comfortable environment. |
The royal suite has been dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi who chose to be a guest of this hotel in 1872. The milanese public loved the Maestro so much that on 5th February, 1887, after the premiere of 'Othello', the horses drawing the carriage bringing him back to the hotel from 'La Scala' were released from the carriage itself which was then drawn along by the crowd, in a frenzy because of the brilliant performance. The citizens laid 'loving' siege to the hotel, compelling the Maestro to show himself at the balcony of his suite together with the tenor Tamagno who sang a few of the opera's arias.
Several years later, when Giuseppe Verdi was on death's door, via Manzoni was covered with straw in order not to disturb the Maestro with the clatter of the carriages and horses. Giuseppe Verdi passed away on 27th January, 1901. Ever since, the suite has maintained the furniture and the deco of the time, the appeal of the splendour of Verdi's time itself remaining unchanged. |
