Minutes away from some of this city’s most visited landmarks – the Duomo Square, Quadrilatero della Moda and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (to name a few) – Gran Meliá has opened its first Milan hotel, Palazzo Cordusio. A fusion of historical grandeur and contemporary design, the hotel is housed within a building conceived by Italian architect Luca Beltrami in the 18th century, named Palazzo Venezia, and later constructed by Italian insurance company Generali to serve as its Milanese headquarters. Today, it stands tall as a neo-classical gem overlooking the historical Piazza Cordusio, which gives the new hotel its name.
