The Bar/Lounge at Palazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa

"The airy lounge bar has a striking backlit veined marble bar and Liberty-style decorations, and the unusually high ceilings and giant windows let the light flood in"

"Rising from the ruins of the historic Palazzo Kramer, which was destroyed during WWII, Palazzo Parigi is now one of Milan’s most opulent hotels with 98 balconied rooms, an 18th-century garden, a huge 1700-square-metre spa, a ballroom and a lounge-bar inlaid with eight different types of wood"

"Amenities include a minibar, coffeemaker, tea kettle and safe"

"Its banquet rooms host international events, while Caffe Parigi, the ground-floor restaurant, is a triple threat with a lounge of rich leather and woods that would make JP Morgan swoon, a neoclassical dining room that often doubles as fashion magazine backdrop, and a garden for cocktails and outdoor meals"
