Avant-Garde Luxury in Milan's Design Heart
Set in Milan's cutting-edge Porta Volta design district between Corso Como and the Garibaldi tech hub, Hotel VIU Milan is a 5-star lifestyle design showcase celebrated for its striking vertical gardens and glass facade. A member of Design Hotels, the 124-room property is the only luxury hotel in Milan with an outdoor rooftop pool offering 360-degree views across the Duomo and modern skyline. Interiors by architect Nicola Gallizia feature bespoke Molteni&C furnishings, while Michelin-starred Chef Giancarlo Morelli commands the hotel's gourmet kitchen and chic Bulk Mixology Food Bar.
Located in the energetic Porta Volta fashion and design quarter, Hotel VIU Milan redefines contemporary Italian luxury with progressive architecture, sustainability, and cosmopolitan flair. Designed by studio Arassociati and interior architect Nicola Gallizia, the hotel's glass facade is framed by lush vertical gardens teeming with climbing jasmine, ivy, and wisteria, creating a dramatic verdant oasis amidst the Milanese capital.
The hotel's 124 guestrooms and suites blend rich wood parquet, tactile textured fabrics, muted natural palettes, and custom furniture crafted by Molteni&C. Expansive marble bathrooms feature Port Laurent stone, oversized rain showers, and bespoke Malin+Goetz bath amenities. Signature Balcony and VIU Suites offer private outdoor terraces commanding breathtaking vistas of the Porta Nuova skyscrapers and the Alps.
Crown jewel of Hotel VIU Milan is The VIU Terrace, home to Milan's first and only hotel rooftop swimming pool, where guests lounge among cabanas with uninterrupted 360-degree panoramas of the city before sunset transforms the deck into Milan's most glamorous aperitivo scene.
