This may be italy s most luxurious hotel suite, with a rooftop t

The 61-key Bulgari Hotel Milano, on a private road in Milan, is a favorite of celebrities like Sting. The jeweler s first hotel opened in 2004. Since then, its coziness and beautiful garden have made it a favorite of the fashion set and well-heeled travelers. The suite s refurbishment makes it better than ever. The fifth-floor Bulgari Suite is almost 4, 000 square feet. The luxury penthouse has enormous closets, plush mattresses wrapped with Bulgari wool and cashmere throws, and handmade draperies and headboards sporting the brand s trademark eight-point star. The master s spa-like sanctuary has a walk-in shower that doubles as a steam room and a nearly one-ton tub cut from a single piece of marble. Besides the luxurious quarters, there s lots of lounge area. The suite has a huge living area with a sectional sofa, floor-to-ceiling windows, fireplace, curated library of design and art books, wraparound balcony, and dining table under a 1960s Murano glass chandelier. There s an Miele-equipped kitchen for private meals. Nope. The rooftop patio is this hotel s crown jewel. The green area feels like a private garden with its potted plants and green wall. It s furnished with chairs, sofas, and tables, making it great for leisure, aperitivos, or outdoor dinner parties. In the sun or under the stars, you ll see Milan s Duomo.
