Upon passing the palazzo’s imposing façade, guests are welcomed by soaring, monumental spaces—accentuated by a gigantic chandelier from the Murano glassmaker Barovier & Toso, fine marble, neoclassical columns, and dramatic architectural details—that instantly transport them into a glamorous, international atmosphere.

Opened in 2013, Palazzo Parigi stands on the site once occupied by the renowned Palazzo Kramer—destroyed during World War II—and later by a bank. It was here that architect Paola Giambelli fell in love with the unconstrained space, recognizing it as the perfect setting to realize her dream of a grand hotel possessing the allure of legendary hospitality icons like the Ritz or the Savoy.

Palazzo Parigi is the quintessence of luxury and good taste, designed and managed with passion by architect and owner Paola Giambelli.

The history and vision of the property

Palazzo Parigi is the fruit of the passion and visionary talent of architect and owner Paola Giambelli. She personally oversaw the property, where every element is custom-made, and even the paintings and furniture were hand-selected by her, piece by piece.

For the interior design, she enlisted the expertise of a master in the field: Parisian interior decorator Pierre-Yves Rochon—creator of some of the world’s most renowned hotels—who celebrated the bespoke union of two style capitals: Paris and Milan.

The Rooms and “Signature Suites”

Palazzo Parigi’s 54 rooms and 41 suites also pay tribute to this dual identity. Some feature a Milanese style, embracing understated contemporary elegance with light tones and natural materials, while others—with a more Parisian flair—evoke the refinement of Haussmann-style mansions.

Staying in the upper-floor suites—such as the renowned Penthouse Suite or the Presidential Suite (which also starred in *The Devil Wears Prada 2)—offers a unique experience, complete with 360-degree panoramic terraces, dream walk-in closets, and private butler service ready to fulfill every wish.

Dining and drinks overlooking the historic garden

Palazzo Parigi’s culinary offerings appeal to both international guests and local connoisseurs at any time of day, making it a favorite haunt for Milanese residents.

Ristorante Caffè Parigi: featuring 18th- and 19th-century artworks, this venue offers classic Italian and Milanese dishes reimagined with contemporary mastery.
Caffè Parigi Bar: the perfect setting for a morning espresso, a refined tea break, or an evening aperitif—enjoyed either on the magnificent sofas or on the outdoor terrace nestled within the tree-filled garden.

The Grand Spa

A Moorish-inspired wellness sanctuary spanning over 1,700 square meters, featuring an indoor pool with a terrace and the magnificent Hammam Privé—a true suite of approximately 100 square meters available for exclusive private use.

The decision to partner with Valmont, the Swiss high-end cosmetics house, reflects a commitment to offering nothing less than excellence: treatments that blend science with artisanal expertise, performed by skilled therapists who transform every session into a work of art.

Palazzo Parigi is one of Milan’s most captivating addresses—a true gem of independent, family-run hospitality.

The Secret

The spirit of the original 18th-century Palazzo Kramer complex lives on in its magnificent 1,400-square-meter private garden, where centuries-old trees from that era still flourish.
