Within the former Archbishop’s Seminary on Corso Venezia, Portrait Milano surrounds one of the city’s largest hidden piazzas with 16th-century colonnades and newly planted gardens. Michele Bönan’s rooms and suites balance vaulted architecture with walnut, leather, brass and mid-century Italian references, many looking into the quadrangle. The public spaces include 10_11 restaurant and garden, Beefbar, Rumore and the Longevity Spa, whose pool occupies the building’s lower level. Fashion boutiques and cultural spaces line the arcades, while the stone loggia frames the daily life of the courtyard.
