Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan, reveals refurbishment of its ‘Il Salotto’ lobby lounge

Posted in News on 7 February, 2025

Dorchester Collection’s Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan is delighted to welcome guests back to its lobby lounge ‘Il Salotto’ following a soft refurbishment led by Studio di Design Architetture&Interni Milano.

The redesigned space, located in the heart of the hotel, reopens with a refreshed look that reflects modern Milan.

The refurbishment
Located at the heart of the hotel Il Salotto has always been the central gathering place of Hotel Principe di Savoia. The renovation includes a new colour palette of warm orange tones, complemented by dove grey and ivory white. These shades are mirrored in the updated textiles and furnishings, which include velvet-quilted backboards, leather armchairs, mirrored glass coffee tables and soft carpets. In addition, woodwork inspired by the horizon above the Lombardy Mountains enhances the setting, creating an inviting atmosphere for both hotel guests and visitors.

Ezio Indiani, general manager of Hotel Principe di Savoia says, “Il Salotto is a hub for cultural exchange, frequented by both the Milanese and those passing through the city. The aim of this renovation was to give the space a new look, one that is even warmer and more welcoming than before, because the most important thing is that a guest feels at home with us here at the Principe. Il Salotto is the perfect place to relax at any time, from breakfast to after dinner. Together with Studio di Design Architteture&Interni Milano, we envisioned Il Salotto as a place with multiple identities, shaped by people from all around the world. Nature was a key inspiration, from the deep colours of the earth reflected in the soft carpet to the pale tones of grey and white, reminiscent of the sky. The curved lines of the armchairs, paired with the structured design of the sofas, create a comfortable setting for all.”

Art
Further solidifying its position within Milan’s art scene, Il Salotto also serves as an exhibition space for private viewings and events. This tradition began in 2023 with the “Timeless Time” exhibition by portrait photographer Vincent Peters and has continued with artists such as Lucas Possiede and Guido Stazzoni. A fresh programme of exhibitions for 2025 will be announced in due course.
