Commanding the grand semicircular Piazza Cordusio at the epicenter of Milan, Palazzo Cordusio, a Gran Meliá Hotel marks the brand's triumphant debut in Italy’s design and fashion capital. Housed within the legendary 19th-century Palazzo Venezia—originally constructed between 1897 and 1901 by visionary architect Luca Beltrami as the headquarters for Assicurazioni Generali—the palace has undergone a spectacular architectural renaissance curated by Alvaro Sans.
Positioned along the historic axis uniting the Duomo Cathedral with Sforza Castle, the hotel blends Milanese sartorial poise with the heartfelt warmth of Spanish luxury service. The 84 guest rooms and suites feature soaring ceilings, monumental neoclassical arched windows, warm parquet flooring, bespoke Rubelli and Dedar textiles, and Carrara marble bathrooms equipped with walk-in rainfall showers and deep soaking tubs.
Palazzo Cordusio is an epicurean epicenter, presenting four celebrated dining and social destinations: ISOLA on the rooftop terrace, offering coastal southern Italian cuisine with 360-degree skyline views; SACHI, where Chef Moon Kyung Soo crafts contemporary Japanese omakase; Giardino Cordusio, an internal courtyard cocktail salon created with mixology legend Giancarlo Mancino; and the subterranean Spa by Gran Meliá, boasting a heated indoor swimming pool, Turkish bath, and sauna.
