Casa Brera Milan, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is in one of Europe’s most dynamic and stylish cities

Casa Brera, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Milan is strategically located in the heart of Milan, nestled in the charming pedestrian Piazzetta Bossi, a few steps away from Teatro alla Scala and the lively Brera neighborhood. Designed by internationally renowned architect and designer Patricia Urquiola, the hotel is the result of a careful restoration of the historic Rationalists building by architect Pietro Lingeri, harmoniously blending Milanese heritage and cosmopolitan flair.

Originally designed in the 1950s by the esteemed Italian architect Pietro Lingeri, a leading figure of Italian Rationalism, the building’s heritage is celebrated through its geometric graphics present on the walls, floors – true marble carpets – and ceiling, that outline the interiors. The Rationalist inspiration is further reflected in the choice of finishings and stones, with a preference for Italian marbles, especially granite, which echoes the building’s facade and represents a recurring design motif.

The culinary direction is guided by the acclaimed Michelin-starred Italian Chef Andrea Berton, who curates the offerings for Living lounge, Scena restaurant and Etereo skybar and restaurant, while celebrated Chef Haruo Ichikawa, the first Japanese chef to earn a Michelin star in Italy, oversees the Japanese cuisine of Odachi restaurant. 

Orange and dark blue dominate the scene in the hotel’s Living lounge, offering an all-day dining experience. The great, marble green rectangular bar counter – a tribute to the renowned architect Piero Portaluppi – is the centre masterpiece of the lounge and serves as the perfect place to order an authentic Milanese aperitif to enjoy either indoors or outdoors on the lush terrace with views overlooking the charming Piazzetta Bossi.

On the eighth and top floor of the hotel, Etereo skybar and restaurant is tinged with cherry red, brown sugar, and desert sand colours and offers a splendid perspective of the city's rooftops. With a magnificent 360-degree view over Milan – spanning from the Duomo to the Galleria, and from the Castle to Porta Nuova – it also features a spectacular rooftop outdoor pool and terrace area with sunbeds, sofas, and umbrellas. The terrace seamlessly connects with the inside bar counter, made of red arabesque Orobic marble, serving as the central meeting point on the rooftop.

 

A masterpiece in Milanese style, the Brera Suite is the ideal option for those seeking the advantages of a high-end decor apartment. The indoor space includes a large bedroom leading into a separate lounge, that opens onto a spacious 121 sqm furnished terrace, with a stunning view over Brera narrow and bustling streets. A semi-circular vibrant blue sofa in the lounge is strategically placed to offer a perfect view of the large terrace, which is accessible through floor-to-ceiling glass doors.
