Radisson Hotel Group has opened its 5th luxury-lifestyle hotel in Italy, Radisson Collection Hotel, Santa Sofia Milan located in the center of Milan. In true Italian fashion, the hotel exudes personality and joie de vivre combining landmark architecture, eclectic interiors, exceptional gastronomic experiences, personalized service, and luxurious amenities. 

Strategically located in downtown Milan on an important axis at the intersection of Via Santa Sofia and Corso Italia, Radisson Collection Hotel, Santa Sofia Milan sits halfway between Piazza del Duomo and the famous Navigli canal district. The surrounding neighborhood excites with entertainment venues, lively squares, shopping streets and easy access to all the city’s attractions.

The ancient Roman Columns of San Lorenzo, Santa Maria dei Miracoli e San Celso church and Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio with their colourful frescoes, and the Naviglio Grande with its restaurants, bars and nightlife by the water are just steps from the hotel. 

Each of the hotel’s 159 rooms and suites is a small urban loft with large windows as well as interior glass walls for an abundance of natural light, and soft dark curtains for privacy.

Custom-built furniture, the juxtaposition of warm, natural materials such as wood and leather with glass and metals, as well as the rich brown, black, and dark navy blue color palette, create an atmosphere reflecting the character style of Milan. Exceptional luxurious hotel amenities include care products by Culti Milano, soft bathrobes, and Nespresso coffee machines available in each room. 

For exquisite gastronomy, the all-day Sofia Kitchen & Bar offers a selection of Mediterranean dishes, as well as international and European favorites, each made from fresh, flavorful ingredients. The contemporary bar serves an extensive wine list with Italian and international labels on offer, as well as a selection of fine Milanese cocktails.

On the 7th floor with its sprawling views of Milan, is ISSEI Rooftop, the fine-dining restaurant and bar specializing in Nikkei cuisine, a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian cuisines. Blending fresh ingredients with earthy flavors and a medley of spices, the menu draws inspiration from both land and sea.

Signature dishes include Hamachi ceviche with yuzu leche de tigre; Wagyu beef tartare with crispy rice, shiro miso, and Ossetra caviar; chargrilled eggplant with miso glaze; nori tacos with grilled lobster, yuzu soy and rocoto mayonnaise; all the way to tres leches cake with matcha ice cream.

Opening in the coming weeks, this unique indoor and outdoor space offers a superbly stylish atmosphere where guests can embrace AtelierP’s “more is more” design philosophy with its visually complex, dreamlike environment connecting the bar, restaurant, lounge, and rooftop as eccentric spaces in which to enjoy an aperitivo, dinner, fancy cocktails, wine, or sake. 

On the fourth floor of the hotel, a new terrace was created with an outdoor swimming pool and lounge bar area that will be open during the warmer months. Guests can take a dip, swim a few laps, or simply relax on a comfortable deck chair while enjoying a glass of wine or an aperitivo.

This exclusive space offers an urban resort feel, perfect for a refreshing morning or afternoon at leisure. Hotel guests can also make use of the 24-hour fitness center, as well as a sauna during the day and evening.
