Vimar’s imprint for the Radisson Collection Hotel Santa Sofia in Milan

27 January 2025

Once home to Allianz, the Radisson Collection Hotel Santa Sofia, the fifth luxury hotel opened in Italy by the Radisson chain, is located in Milan, halfway between Piazza Duomo and the famous Navigli district. The strategic location, in the centre of the Milanese capital, is in a lively and well-served neighbourhood. It is the result of a redevelopment project, which transformed the original building of the ’60s into a spectacular 5-star luxury hotel. The intervention led by Studio Marco Piva gives new life to an architectural jewel symbol of the city, adapting it to business and international hospitality.

The distinctive external section of the building, which involves the intersection of Via Santa Sofia and Corso Italia, has been maintained, preserving the original trachyte façade and the characteristic roof with oxidized copper pitches. Particularly attentive to the buildings’ morphology and context, Studio Marco Piva’s design approach uses an “urban style” architectural and interior design language. The 159 rooms, of which 130 are standard, 28 junior suites and 1 suite, are conceived as small urban lofts with large windows and black frames to give even higher brightness and permeability between the bathroom and bed areas, separated – if necessary – by soft curtains.

Vimar’s exclusive Eikon Exé series is part of this contemporary urban context. The choice of finishes, furnishings and materials render the taste of a five-star luxury lifestyle according to the new demand-oriented hospitality industry. Warm, wood-effect materials dialogue with contemporary elements such as glass and metal, while the language of colours tells a palette in shades of blue, with accents of red and dominant shades of grey.

Attention to detail, therefore, plays a fundamental role and is why the choice of the Eikon Exé series, in its traditional control declination, does not go unnoticed. The visible and orderly shape arranged installed devices are in each of the Hotel areas: on the elegant upholstered fabric headboards, recessed on the vanity tops of the bathrooms, and in all common areas.

In addition to the fitness centre, guests of the Radisson Collection Hotel Santa Sofia can enjoy a new terrace on the fourth floor, with an outdoor swimming pool and lounge bar area. An unprecedented point of view among the rooftops of Milan, an ideal place to relax on a comfortable armchair while enjoying a glass of wine or an aperitif and, thanks to the Vimar devices of the Plana series, protected by Isoset IP55 containers, recharging your tablet or phone while enjoying a moment of relaxation.

At the Radisson Collection Hotel Santa Sofia, the common areas, designed by Alessandro Mario Cesario and Studio Atelier P, satisfy the desire for unconventional elegance and comfort. Places with multiple facets reveal different suggestions and perspectives, enlivened by eclectic elements that suggest experiences, memories, and passages from one side of the globe to another. The international imprint of the Radisson Collection Hotel Santa Sofia is perceivable throughout its complex. A metropolitan style capable of accommodating different stimuli, depending on the guests’ origin. A new lifestyle hotel that integrates with the needs of contemporary society and in which, once again, the positive energy of Vimar manages to take shape.
