Hotel Principe di Savoia, or simply referred to as The Principe, is a five-star hotel in Milan located on
Piazza Della Repubblica, that has long become one of Milan’s Landmarks. Founded by the name of “Principe
e Savoia” in 1927, a time when Milan had already established its position as the financial centre of the coun-
try, it soon became a home for businessmen. With time, celebrities of all kinds chose The Principe for their
Italian stays: Edward VIII, Erich Maria Remarque, Aristotle Onassis, Evita Peron, Maria Callas; and in recent
years Madonna, David Beckham and George Clooney, among others. In 2003, the hotel became part of the
Dorchester Collection, a group of luxury hotels owned by the Brunei Investment Agency.

Town House Street turns conventional hotel con-
cepts upside down: no reception, no lobby, and no
stairways or corridors. Instead, guests enter their
large 375-square-foot rooms directly from the street,
which they can look out upon through floor-to-
ceiling windows. Inside, with interiors decorated
in yellow, orange, red, or green, guests enjoy all the
services offered by conventional hotels.
