As the golden hues of autumn settle over Milan, Mandarin Oriental, Milan celebrates a remarkable milestone—its 10th anniversary—with a curated suite of experiences that intertwine luxury, culture, and the city’s storied heritage. From the art-laden halls of Palazzo Citterio to the serene saffron-inspired treatments at The Spa, every offering invites guests to uncover Milan’s soul through thoughtfully crafted encounters, where refinement meets tradition and modern artistry.
The hotel’s deep-rooted connection with Milan’s cultural fabric is beautifully illustrated through exclusive access to two of the city’s most treasured landmarks. The newly opened Palazzo Citterio, a neoclassical gem a mere stroll from the hotel, offers guests after-hours immersion into an extraordinary collection of 20th-century Italian art. Works by Morandi, Fontana, Burri, and Manzoni come alive under the guidance of passionate curators, allowing guests to experience art in a quiet, intimate setting reserved just for them.
Art reaches its zenith with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Last Supper during a private nocturnal visit. In the hushed ambiance of the Santa Maria delle Grazie refectory, visitors are led by expert art historians through the masterpiece’s layered symbolism, technique, and history—an experience that transcends a simple viewing and becomes an intimate encounter with one of the world’s greatest works of art.
Culinary excellence defines the hotel’s celebrations at Seta by Antonio Guida. Marking a decade of gastronomic distinction, Chef Guida’s “10 Years of Seta” menu is a refined anthology of signature dishes—each a reflection of his Milanese roots and international inspirations. From delicate oysters paired with Champagne sauce to bold red wine-glazed eel with foie gras, the seven-course journey is an invitation to explore flavors shaped by experience across continents.
The celebrations extend to Mandarin Garden’s celebrated mixology, where the newly crafted cocktail, simply named “10,” pays tribute to a decade of creativity and conviviality. A harmonious blend of Tanqueray Ten, Arrak, and Venturo, with makrut lime leaf cordial and coconut air, this aperitivo evokes Milan’s famed tradition while celebrating global influences—a turquoise-hued testament to renewal and craftsmanship.
Wellness finds its voice in The Spa’s Golden Saffron Ritual, an indulgent experience inspired by Milan’s treasured spice. The journey begins with a soothing foot ritual, followed by full-body exfoliation and a saffron-infused massage that melts stress and tension away. A saffron facial scrub and bespoke healthy refreshments culminate in an hour of relaxation in the Spa Suite’s Jacuzzi and steam bath, offering guests a holistic escape into serenity.
For those eager to embrace Milan’s elegance fully, the “A Tribute to Ten Years in Milan” package presents an all-encompassing experience.
