“The city’s first boutique hotel bears the stamp of British designer Terence Conran who transformed it in 1996. Its particular brand of laid-back luxury makes it a particular favourite with pop stars. Perhaps they relish the high-backed leather seats in the award-winning Silver Bar, where you can chat undisturbed. There’s also first-class Northern Italian cuisine in the restaurant, Collio, a serene courtyard garden, and state-of-the-art bedrooms with furniture by Minotti and Philippe Starck among others.”
