Lifestyle: Suite Brioni / Four Seasons, Milano

A stay in an exclusive hotel that is like a home away from home is a dream shared by many. In 2005 Brioni made this dream come true with the "Suite Brioni": a haven on the top floor of the Four Seasons, Milan.

The Four Seasons, located a short distance from the Milanese headquarters, is today the only hotel in the group in all the world to offer a suite incorporating a unique design, created by Brioni architects and interior designers for guests in search of the elegance and natural appeal that brand interprets at the highest levels. The décor was designed to convey the feeling of a stay in a private home rather than a hotel room. The style reflects the atmosphere of an intimate apartment, a refuge that comforts, delights and soothes. Beds, sofas and armchairs have been selected with full respect for the excellence of contemporary design with sober, clean and restrained lines. The antique pieces are of particular interest, from the Louis-Philippe armchair irreverently updated in contemporary fabric to the small Syrian silver tables and the splendour of the exotic curtains to the rigorous style of the small Empire armchairs covered in horsehair, all coupled with one-off designer pieces created by the Brioni shop architects. A highly unique bassorilievo, created by the cabinet-maker Giuseppe Amato, houses a crossword based around tailoring terminology.
