Portrait Milano, a new Lungarno Collection destination combining tailor-made hospitality with gourmand experiences, shopping, and more, will open on 1 December after a long conservative renovation.
Housed in the former Archbishop’s Seminary on Corso Venezia in the heart of Milan's famous fashion district, the majestic Quadrilatero square of over 2,800 sqm will have restaurants, bars and boutiques as well as access to a 17th-century colonnade.
An oasis of privacy and peace
On the first floor 73 rooms and suites will welcome guests to an oasis of privacy and tranquility designed by Michele Bönan, who has curated all the Lungarno Collection properties. The classic style is reminiscent of a Milanese residence, but with contemporary details inspired by Tuscan craftsmanship, such as leather handles and rattan panelling, as a tribute to the Ferragamo family's historic locations.
Adding a new chapter to history
"My family and I are honoured to have had the opportunity to add a new chapter to the long history of this extraordinary place," says Leonardo Ferragamo, president of Lungarno Collection. Our Portraits (which are already in Rome and Florence. Ed) were created with a strong desire to improve the quality, history, and values of their locations.”
Casual and fine dining restaurants
Portrait will also directly manage the bars and restaurants on the north side - which will have a garden and a loggia - thanks to Identità Golose's twenty years of experience in haute cuisine and the skill of chef Andrea Ribaldone. While Alberto Quadrio is in charge of managing these outlets and the fine dining and casual dining restaurants.
Looking for fashion, design and lifestyle partners
The square of the Quadrilatero will be the common denominator of the project.
“We will evaluate all projects presented to us by fashion, design, and lifestyle brands in general,” concludes Valeriano Antonioli, CEO of Lungarno Collection.
