CASA BRERA, A LUXURY COLLECTION HOTEL, OPENS IN MILAN
Milan, the beating heart of fashion, culture, and design, is now home to a new landmark of luxury and style: Casa Brera, a Luxury Collection Hotel. Recently opened in the autumn of 2024, this stunning addition to Marriott International’s portfolio promises an extraordinary experience where timeless Milanese elegance meets world-class service.
Located in the vibrant Brera district, just steps from Teatro alla Scala and the picturesque Piazzetta Bossi, Casa Brera offers guests the perfect starting point to explore Milan’s renowned artistic and cultural heritage.
Where Heritage Meets Innovation
Designed by the celebrated architect Patricia Urquiola, Casa Brera marries Milan’s rich history with a cosmopolitan flair. The hotel is housed in a carefully restored Rationalist building by the esteemed Pietro Lingeri, showcasing the striking geometric beauty of 1950s architecture. Urquiola’s design elegantly complements the building’s heritage, blending bold contemporary elements with classic Italian craftsmanship. Throughout the hotel, one can admire intricate marble “carpets,” polished granite finishes, and custom-designed furniture by iconic brands like Cassina, Andreu World, and Moroso, evoking Milan’s sophisticated style.
The property also features a curated collection of modern art, including a standout piece by famed fashion photographer Tim Walker, which can be found in the Living lounge. This thoughtful integration of art, design, and architecture ensures that every corner of Casa Brera is a visual masterpiece.
Epicurean Delights by Michelin-Star Chefs
Casa Brera’s culinary offerings reflect the same level of sophistication and attention to detail as its design. The hotel’s dining experiences are curated by a stellar team of Michelin-starred chefs. Italian gastronomic traditions are brought to life at Scena, an elegant fine-dining restaurant led by Executive Chef Francesco Bonato, who offers guests an innovative approach to Milanese and Italian cuisine.
For those craving something different, Odachi brings the artistry of Japanese cuisine to Milan, helmed by Chef Haruo Ichikawa, the first Japanese chef to earn a Michelin star in Italy. With its serene, intimate atmosphere and luxurious design—featuring rich Canaletto walnut and custom-made lighting that evokes the beauty of Japanese lanterns—Odachi offers a refined dining experience like no other.
Rounding out the hotel’s culinary offerings is Etereo, a sky-high restaurant and bar on the eighth floor. With a spectacular 360-degree view of Milan’s skyline, including iconic landmarks like the Duomo and Galleria, Etereo offers both culinary excellence and a stunning perspective of the city. Guests can enjoy fresh Italian seafood while lounging by the rooftop pool, surrounded by panoramic vistas of Milan’s rooftops and beyond.
Stay in Style
The hotel’s 101 rooms and 15 suites are a true reflection of Milan’s artistic spirit, combining contemporary luxury with Milanese design elements. Each room is thoughtfully appointed with fine materials like walnut wood, Fior di Pesco marble, and brass, and features elegant Poliform furniture and custom artworks that create a seamless flow from the sleeping area to the bathroom. For those seeking additional space, the Brera Suite offers an expansive living area, while the Presidential Milanese Suite boasts two outdoor terraces and breathtaking views over the city.
Whether it’s the stylish Studio with Balcony for those who prefer an indoor-outdoor living experience, or the opulent Presidential Milanese Suite, each room at Casa Brera promises a sophisticated and comfortable retreat in the heart of Milan.
A New Milanese Landmark
The opening marks a significant milestone in The Luxury Collection’s continued expansion in Europe. Milan, renowned for its rich history in art, design, and fashion, provides the perfect backdrop for this exceptional new property. Bruce Rohr, Vice President of The Luxury Collection, expressed his excitement about Casa Brera’s debut: “This spectacular property, blending timeless Milanese elegance with contemporary luxury, provides an ideal setting for global explorers to experience the city’s charm and artistic spirit in true style.”
