The design duo did their upmost best in respecting the essence of the historic hotel, though, through the usage of velvety fabrics, silks and jacquards that call out bigger attention to the classic elements still there. They infused their signature eclectic taste by trading the previous palette of orange and taupe shades with a softer shade that mixes pink and mauve, with rust burgundy and forest green hues by adding in plants in the decor. Throughout the hall, you can also find elements adorning the space such as embroideries and floral patterns, as well as liberty motifs bedecking the cushions and stools of the bar.

Right now, you can definitely detect Dimorestudio ‘s fingerprints in this new take on the hotel’s interior design. Which was why Britt Moran and Emiliano Salcifrom Dimorestudio had quite the challenge in regards to preserving and at the same time revamping this incredible hotel. Located at the Golden Triangle fashion district of Montenapoleone (not far from the Armani hotel), this 19th-century Milanese hotel is one of the city’s most beloved classical references. There are many other personalities that have stayed at, or passed by this establishment, which include the likes of Maria Callas, Giorgio de Chirico, Rudolf Nureyev, and even The Duke and Duchess of Windsor. More than being a top reference in regards to unique places to stay during Milan Design Week, Grand Hotel et de Milan is also very famous for being a place where Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi spent 20 years of his life.
