All about Palazzo Parigi (2)

Is it for you?

The Terrace Suite has 55 m², room for 3 and doors onto the terrace, with the towers on the horizon: for two, it’s the one I like. Then head down to Grand Spa, included for hotel guests.

I’d ask for
The Terrace Suite, stating whether you prefer Milanese or Parisian decor.
Worth knowing
Treatments and Royal Hammam Privée are charged separately.

  1. Ask for the garden

    I would ask for a garden-facing Executive Room: 35 m² and a king-size bed. Specify the outlook when booking, since the same category also has city views.

  2. Spa treatments cost extra

    The Grand Spa comes with the room, while treatments are charged separately. For families, the hotel also sets an age rule: children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult when using the spa.

  3. A drink after midnight

    For a late drink, Caffè Parigi stays open until 1am every day.

What Palazzo Parigi is

Palazzo Parigi is a historic building between Brera and the Fashion District, turned into a hotel and designed by its owner, the architect Paola Giambelli, who still runs it. It has 54 rooms and 41 suites, every one with a balcony or a terrace. On the third floor, among Moorish arches, is the Grand Spa.

Gives more than the other hotels of its place and price range.

In central Milan, Palazzo Parigi’s Premium Suite looks out over the trees of its private garden.

How Lumi are awarded
  • Guests

    107 reviews read: the location pleases almost every guest who mentions it, the staff and service 8 in 10. Still too few to say more.

  • Critics

  • Ours (exceptional)

    The Penthouse Suite has 180 m² and a terrace running all the way round it, looking out over the city.

Our reading, point by point

  1. Location

    Between Brera, the Fashion District and Porta Nuova, with La Scala a 12-minute walk away.

  2. Character

    The staircase, the lobby, rooms in 2 styles, Milanese and Parisian: a hotel with a signature, its architect’s.

  3. Rooms

    Generous rooms, every one with a balcony or terrace; the outlook does the rest.

  4. Wellness

    A 1,700 m² spa with pool, hammam, treatments and gym: reason enough on its own to choose the place.

  5. Food and social life

    Breakfast at Caffè Parigi, afternoon tea in the garden, dinner at the Ristorante Gastronomico: you could eat the whole day here.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them

What do Palazzo Parigi’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.

  1. Location

    Every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests appreciate the central location and the quiet garden, a short walk from central streets.

  2. Room

    A March 2026 review describes a spacious, clean room; another, from January 2026, reports some difficulty controlling the temperature.

  3. Staff and service

    8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember attentive staff at the bar and spa, including visits just for tea or a treatment.

  4. Breakfast

    A January 2026 review enjoys breakfast; in an account published in May, referring to the previous January, the coffee could have been better.

  5. Price

    A November 2025 review finds tea at €15 a cup expensive; another, from February 2025, considers the bar’s prices in keeping with the setting.

The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Milan: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 29 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

What to expect

A grand staircase, balconies, a Moorish spa and an eighteenth-century garden, a stroll from Brera.

A marble staircase, white balustrades, hydrangeas at the foot of the steps: you know the palace’s style before you reach reception.

The city can wait

On the third floor, an indoor pool, hammam and treatments, every day from 9 am to 9 pm.

The balcony changes everything

Every room has one, or a terrace: over the garden, over the rooftops, now and then over the Duomo. Floor and outlook change from room to room.

A garden to pause in

The Ristorante Gastronomico and Caffè Parigi look onto the garden, and from 4 to 6 pm tea is served outside too, under the trees.

  • New hotels in Milan: who has just opened and who opens in 2027

  • A balcony does not mean a Duomo view: others look over the garden or the city. Better to know which one you are getting before you arrive.

  • The Grand Spa, open daily from 9 am to 9 pm, is free for hotel guests; treatments and the Royal Hammam Privée are paid.

  • Milanese or Parisian, the room changes character: if the style matters to you, ask which one you will be given.

  • Parking comes on top of the room rate: the underground parking the concierge offers has no published price, and Booking.com gives €50 a day, to be booked. Look at the full rate before you book.

  • Before you choose your dates, see what a night costs in Milan, month by month.

Frequently asked questions

What guests ask before they arrive, from the spa to the car park.

Does Palazzo Parigi accept dogs?

Yes: the hotel’s website lists in-room amenities for pets among its free services. On cost and size, though, every source has its own version: Booking.com says pets are allowed on request at no extra charge; Expedia says they stay free, but only dogs and cats, one only, up to 5 kg; the Telegraph, in February 2025, welcomed small and medium-sized dogs, with beds and bowls, for €50 a stay. Pages read on 27 September 2026.

Where is Palazzo Parigi?

At Corso di Porta Nuova 1, between Brera, the Fashion District and Porta Nuova. Much of the centre is walkable from the door: La Scala is 12 minutes away.

Is Palazzo Parigi open all year?

Yes, as far as anything written shows, though nobody says so outright: it is a city hotel, the Grand Spa opens every day, it served Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year’s Eve menus in 2025, and an offer on its site runs to 31 December 2026. A line such as “open all year” is nowhere to be found. On Google Hotels, read on 24 October 2026, every night from 25 October 2026 to 31 July 2027 had a price, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve included, except 3 short spells with no price and no explanation in any source: 22 February to 1 March, 12 to 18 April and 17 to 22 June 2027.

How far is La Scala on foot?

About 900 metres, a 12-minute walk, from the hotel’s door at Corso di Porta Nuova 1 to the main entrance of La Scala, on its piazza, by Via Croce Rossa and Via Manzoni. The route was measured on OpenStreetMap’s streets on 27 September 2026.

Is there parking at Palazzo Parigi?

Yes: the concierge offers underground parking, with no published price; Booking.com gives €50 a day, to be booked, while Google and Expedia only say there is a charge. The nearest public garages are Autosilo San Marco, at Via San Marco 13, 423 metres or a 6-minute walk away, open from 6 am to 2 am, at €5 for the first hour and €35 for 19 to 24 hours, and Autosilo Solferino, at Via San Marco 30, 609 metres or 8 minutes away, open from 6.45 am to 1.30 am, at €4 an hour and €29 for 24 hours; a second, unlabelled column of its tariff shows €3.50 and €25. Both sell the Area C day pass, at €4.50. On the street, in Corso di Porta Nuova, parking costs €3 an hour, 2 hours at most, from 8 am to 7 pm. Walking distances measured on OpenStreetMap’s streets; read on 27 September 2026.

How much does a night at Palazzo Parigi cost?

A night for 2 adults is €940 on 16 November 2026, €874 on 14 December and €1,344 on 12 January 2027; on 15 January, during Milano Moda Uomo, it rises to €2,334. Google does not say whether room, meals and taxes are included. Prices from Google Hotels, read on 24 October 2026.

Do the rooms have balconies?

Yes, all of them: each of the 54 rooms and 41 suites has a balcony or a terrace, according to the official room list. Size, floor and outlook change from one room to the next, and only the hotel knows which you will get.

Is the Grand Spa included for hotel guests?

Yes: hotel guests use the Grand Spa free of charge, with the indoor pool, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool and gym; treatments are paid, for instance the 50-minute Royal Hammam ritual at €220. The Royal Hammam Privée, a private suite of about 100 m² with a 6 × 2 m pool for up to 4 people, is booked separately. Its price is on request. Separately, a December 2025 Google review reports €300 for an hour of private spa.

Can non-guests use the spa?

Yes, by booking with the spa, and the gym takes visitors from 9 am to 9 pm. The hotel publishes no entry price: Lombardia Secrets, in September 2026, gives a day-spa price from €100. Places are scarce: according to Flawless, in 2023 the spa took few bookings a day, and an April 2026 Google review reports a one-hour limit at weekends. In 2022 Forbes Italia also mentioned a membership, the Grand Spa & Fitness Club Membership, which the hotel’s website no longer names.

What is the Grand Spa like?

Moorish and full of daylight: it fills the third floor of the palazzo, 1,700 m² in all. A large heated indoor pool with counter-current swimming opens onto a terrace above the garden; around it are a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, whirlpool, emotional shower, ice fall, relaxation room and the Oasi spa bar. Then come 7 treatment rooms, the private Royal Hammam and a Technogym gym with a yoga and Pilates studio: 300 m² according to the hotel, 200 according to the trade magazine Hotel Domani in September 2026.

What are the spa, pool and gym hours?

From 9 am to 9 pm every day for the Grand Spa, pool included. The gym opens to hotel guests from 6:30 am to 10 pm and to visitors from 9 am to 9 pm. The pool is indoor and heated, open all year according to Booking.com and Tripadvisor, but no page of the hotel’s gives its temperature.

How much do spa treatments cost?

A 50-minute massage costs €150, according to the spa’s 2023 price list, whose prices matched the official pages read on 27 September 2026; an 80-minute one €190, a Thai massage €170 and a 25-minute express massage €100. Hammam rituals cost €220, €300 or €380 depending on length; Valmont facials from €100 to €255, up to €395 for the 90-minute Elixir des Glaciers, and Valmont body treatments from €140 to €215; spa journeys of several treatments from €285 to €400. Every treatment can be booked for 2, in a couples’ room, and the hammam rituals use Nectarome products.

Can children use the pool and spa?

Yes: under-12s must be with an adult, the hotel’s rule for its young guests. No minimum age is published, for treatments either: anyone after an adults-only spa should bear it in mind.

What do guests say about the spa?

A September 2026 Google review describes a massage tailored to the guest’s needs and a friendly welcome at the spa reception. In July 2025 another visitor liked the setting and staff but would have preferred hotter tea and cups made of something other than paper.

Where can you eat in the hotel?

On the ground floor, facing the garden: the Ristorante Gastronomico, Italian and Milanese cooking, open for lunch from noon to 3 pm and dinner from 7:30 to 11 pm, with mains from €42 to €67, and Caffè Parigi, open from 7 am to 1 am, with breakfast until 10:30, 11 at weekends, and afternoon tea from 4 to 6 pm, in the eighteenth-century garden too. In-room dining runs 24 hours, and inside the spa the Oasi serves healthy food and juices. The tea’s price is not published: in April 2024 Sale&Pepe gave €35, or €48 with champagne. Lombardia Secrets, in September 2026, gives mains from €52 to €75, dearer than those on the hotel’s own menus.

Does Palazzo Parigi hold a New Year’s Eve dinner?

Yes, in its gastronomic restaurant. For 31 December 2025 the dinner cost €400 a head, with a welcome glass, water and coffee included and other drinks extra: 7 courses, among them scampi with caviar, an egg with white Alba truffle, red-prawn risotto and dentex, then cotechino and lentils after midnight, with live music and a DJ set. The same brochure priced Christmas Eve dinner at €185 and Christmas lunch at €240, and the press reported a lunch on 1 January 2026. Nothing for 31 December 2026 had been published by 27 September 2026. One article of 18 December 2025 speaks of the arrival “of 2025”, but it describes the same evening.

Can you hold a wedding at Palazzo Parigi?

Yes: the hotel has its own wedding planners and builds menus to order, with no prices or packages published; quotes come through the form on its site. The main room is the Sala dei Giardini, 372 m², for up to 380 guests according to the site and up to 400 in the wedding brochure’s table, divisible into 5 combinations and opening onto the terrace and the private garden. For a welcome cocktail there is the Grand Foyer Canova, for 120; for small receptions and ceremonies the Sala della Lettura, 30 on the site and 40 in the brochure; then the Winter Garden (40), the Sala Orientale (20) and the Sala Cramer (12). The garden can be hired for exclusive use too.

Can you choose Milanese or Parisian style?

You can ask. Rooms come in 2 styles, Milanese and Parisian, and the hotel assigns the room: if one of them matters to you, say so when you book.

How do the panoramic suites differ?

In the view. The panoramic suites, Duomo, Prestige and Milano, from 61 to 77 m², are built around terraces and outlooks, and the Duomo Panoramic Suite says so in its name. From the other balconies the Duomo is not a given: ask for the exact outlook before you choose.
