Palazzo Bernasconi had been a civic landmark on Corso Venezia for nearly two centuries before Casa Cipriani Milano claimed it in 2022, and BMS Progetti's renovation was careful not to let either party forget it. The protected early-19th-century facade — travertine-coloured stone, arched windows, and a cornice line that holds its own against the Giardini Indro Montanelli across the street — was restored rather than reimagined, leaving the architectural gravitas intact for Michele Bönan to work against inside. Bönan, whose Florentine studio has long navigated the gap between old-world formality and something more personally curated, furnished the 15 rooms and suites with walnut boiserie, parquet oak floors, and Venini Murano glass chandeliers that pull the space toward an English gentlemen's club filtered through Italian Art Deco. The palette shifts between rooms — navy velvet headboards and ivory boucle armchairs in the larger suites, bold navy-and-white ticking stripes in the standard rooms, geometric crimson rugs underfoot throughout — but the lacquered mahogany millwork remains a constant thread. The restaurant, with its high-gloss wood panelling and deep green velvet banquettes framing garden views, carries the same controlled warmth. At ground level, the lobby bar announces itself with a carved antique bar counter set against a black wall of framed photographs, an anchor of lived-in theatricality that the Cipriani name has always known how to deliver.
