Milan is so vibrant and full of energy that sometimes, its sheer dynamism makes the pleasure of slowing down even more precious. For those looking for the perfect spot where the pace eases and elegance meets indulgence, that place is the Bvlgari Hotel Milano — once a convent, later a noble residence, and now an oasis of refined hospitality. Tucked away at Via Privata Fratelli Gabba 7, the moment you step inside, a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere embraces you, whether you’re a hotel guest or simply stopping by.
Bvlgari Hotel Milano, Where Time Slows Down
At the heart of the experience is the Bvlgari Bar, where aperitivo — served from 6:30 to 9:00 PM — is more than a tradition; it’s a ritual. The black resin bar counter, sleek and sculptural, mirrors the soft glow of the ambient lighting and reflects the striking glass wall overlooking the lush garden.
Aperitivo time at The Bvlgari Bar
As the space comes to life, the soft clinking of ice in glasses and the gentle hum of conversation blend seamlessly with the curated soundtrack, creating the feel of an intimate, upscale lounge where time slows down. The selection is curated by Patrick Greco’s team — Bvlgari Specials, each cocktail capturing the brand’s signature effortless elegance, timeless classics, and a curated range of top-tier spirits for those who prefer to sip neat.
