The Bar/Lounge at Mandarin Oriental, Milan

"No surprises, either, that the spa headlines the hotel’s sybaritic offerings – an indoor swimming pool jostles for attention with a nail studio, Thai-based therapies, and a hair salon fronted by local celebrity stylist Massimo Serini"

"The Mandarin Bar has quickly become one of the hottest spots in town to see and be seen"

"For light bites, head to the Bar Bistro, a stylish lounge with a striking marble floor and houndstooth armchairs (don't miss the jazz brunch on Sundays)"

"The lounge area plays hosts to Fornasetti’s ‘Guscio’ sofa and ‘Boss’ armchair, anchored by his ‘Fly’ coffee table, while in the dining area an arrangement of ornate mirrors, a Venetian trumeau, and the designer’s memorable ‘Capitello’ chairs and ‘Ultime Notizie’ table completes the fanciful suite"

"An outdoor courtyard arranged with lounge sofas, lounge sofas and a bistro area features walls carved with ancient emblems of the Lombardy provinces"
