Transportation

The Hotel Principe di Savoia is centrally located in the business centre of Milan, close to many museums and elegant shopping districts, and is easily accessed from all parts of the city.

By Air

Milan has two airports, both used by domestic and international traffic. Malpensa is the main airport and is 50 kilometers north-east of the city (50 minutes from the hotel). There are connections via bus and trains to the Stazione Centrale and by the new FNME train, the Malpensa Express. If you are traveling on the Milano Ferrovie Nord, the early morning and late evening services are replaced by a bus from Via Leopardi, just to the left of the station. Milan's other airport, Linate, is just seven kilometers from the city centre (20 minutes from the hotel). There are special airport buses at the air terminal on Piazza Luigi di Savoia, on the east side of Stazione Centrale. ATM urban transport buses also run every ten minutes from 5:30 am until around midnight between Linate and Piazza San Babila in the city centre. There is also a twice-daily connecting bus service between Linate and Malpensa, a 75-minute journey.

By Train

Most international and domestic trains arrive at the main Stazione Centrale (five minutes from the hotel), north-east of the city centre on Piazza Duca d'Aosta, at the hub of the metro network on lines MM2 and MM3. Quite a few trains, especially those from stations in the Milan region - Bergamo, Pavia, Como and the other western lakes - terminate at Garibaldi, Lambrate, Porta Genova and Nord, all on MM2 (the metro stop for Milan Nord is Cadorna), although these often also stop at Centrale.

By Car

The city is encircled by a multi-laned toll road, the Tangenziale, from which there are links onto the motorways for Venice and Turin (A-4), Genoa (A-7), and the Autostrada del Sole (A-1) for Bologna, Florence, Rome and the south. The hotel is 15 minutes from the highway.

Each of the 401 spacious guest rooms and suites at the Hotel Principe di Savoia is decorated and furnished to reflect the warm and elegant atmosphere of 19th-century Lombard interior design combined with the unobtrusive integration of modern technology. Wainscote wood paneling frames wall-coverings of precious damask and the furniture is inspired by the creations of the celebrated Maggiolini, so each room conveys a note of elegance and refinement. The bathrooms are spacious with marble tiling in soft colors and provide soft bathrobes and a telephone outlet.

The rooms are perfectly soundproof and feature wireless high-speed Internet access, air-conditioning and thermostatic heating control, a refrigerator bar and a direct dial telephone. All the bedrooms have large opening windows allowing fresh air to circulate. Occupying ten floors there are 269 rooms and 132 suites to choose from.

In January 2006 the 48 new Deluxe Mosaic Rooms, all overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, were opened to the public.

Three basic interior décor themes prevail:

Venetian-style rooms feature rich gold and ochre silks and velvets within a warm neutral setting with contrasting turquoise and Murano glass mirrors. Sculptured desks have been forged from white onyx and steel. Imaginative mosaic walls decorate the bathrooms which also feature Brazilian rosewood vanities topped with ochre glass.

Florentine-style rooms are framed in very soft blue-grey walls and punctuated with the inspired use of rich blue damask silks. Embossed ice-blue leather cover the smoked oak of the study/dressing room doors. Headboards are of Brazilian rosewood. The glass mosaic walls in the bathrooms echo the soft blue hues of the bedroom.

In the Neo-Classical rooms, bronze floor lamps and crystal-drop chandeliers highlight the touches of rich ruby and amethyst set against the cool neutrals of the background. The bathrooms feature fanciful glass and mosaic walls and European walnut vanities topped with ruby red glass.

The design inspiration and key feature of every bathroom is the wall mosaic – a contemporary vision of classical Italian design. Frosted and clear glass panels work in tandem to provide both privacy and the illusion of space. Instead of tiles, entire slabs of Bianca Lasa, the premier white marble, have been used to convey a sense of expansiveness. Redesigned traditional rosewood or walnut vanities have been contemporized with boldly coloured glass tops.

Enjoy a relaxing breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge, which also offers all-day dining, or opt for the intimate atmosphere of the Giardino d'Inverno Bar.

Acanto Restaurant

Opened in May 2006 another absolute innovation: a new veranda and restaurant entirely integrated with the inside dining room of the Galleria restaurant. Elegantly refurbished in its design, materials and color scheme, and with a new independent entrance. The architecture of the veranda conceived by Celeste Dell'Anna Design, enhances the view to the garden, an ideal solution for pleasant dining. During the day the light comes from a transparent octagonal-shaped cupola fit to feel immersed in nature, and the atmosphere becomes magical in the evening when the garden lights up. The style will be both contemporary and refined, with walls of natural beige fabric and the use of two different kinds of woods. Lighting the room will be a series of glass chandeliers from Murano, expressly designed by Dell'Anna using as inspiration the great masters of the 1900s.

The menu is classic Italian cuisine, its flavors exalted by the talent of the Chef who combines a lightness of touch with newly gauged cooking times and presents dishes of high aesthetic value.

The primary inspiration for The Acanto menu has been the local Lombard culinary tradition, which the Chef has melded with flavors from the Mediterranean and beyond to create delicate dishes infused with a world of flavour. Nothing but the finest of fresh seasonal fare is used throughout.
