Carlton Hotel Baglioni Milano

The Luxos hotel review guide presents Carlton Baglioni, a hotel with a prestige location in the heart of Milan, where culture and business intersect with fashion and design. It looks over Via della Spiga, one of the most famous shopping streets in the city, and it is just a few steps from Via Montenapoleone. Its facilities include one of the most celebrated restaurants in Milan, Baretto al Baglioni, a favourite meeting place for the jetset with its English club atmosphere and quintessentially Italian menu. A visit to the Carlton Baglioni is guaranteed to instil a subtle glow of pleasure.

Rooms and Suites
All rooms are furnished with unique, luxurious pieces, endowing them with a fine and sophisticated atmosphere. The suites are resplendent in individual décor and state-of-the-art comfort and technology, complementing refined furnishings including Murano glass lamps, sophisticated textiles, paintings, marble floors, and luxurious bathrooms also clad in finest marble. The experience is enhanced by views onto Via della Spiga, the most fashionable street in Milan.

The Baretto al Baglioni is a historic restaurant that was originally on Via Sant'Andrea, and has now been incorporated into the Carlton Hotel Baglioni's premises. It has become a favourite meeting place for the Italian and international jetset. Its atmosphere is reminiscent of a late 19th century English club, with extensive wood panelling, and British landscape paintings. The menu, however, is quintessentially Italian, with many Milan and Mediterranean specialities. The Baretto can host up to 75 people.
Another society highlight is Caffé Baglioni which features an annexed library and a terrace ideal for al fresco cocktails.
