Rocco Forte House
For those seeking something special, Rocco Forte House offers the intimacy and exclusivity of a private home with the quality mark of a Rocco Forte hotel. Opened in August 2024, the property occupies an exquisite 19th-century Milanese palazzo at the intersection of Via Manzoni and Via della Spiga, in the heart of the Quadrilatero della Moda. Sensitively restored to its original splendour, the building now houses a collection of 11 unique apartments where original stucco mouldings, marble floors, and stunning ceiling frescoes have been lovingly maintained. Each apartment has been named after an iconic area of central Milan — Brera, Duomo, Isola, or Tortona — and designed by Olga Polizzi, Director of Design for the group, in collaboration with Paolo Moschino and Philip Vergeylen, with the distinct character of each residence running through every detail. Guests have full use of a private gym and the services of a dedicated House Concierge for grocery shopping, bespoke itineraries, and coveted reservations. For those who prefer the company of a private chef, that too can be arranged.
