Sunset Hospitality Group opens METT Milan Torre Velasca

Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG), one of the world's leading 360-degree hospitality and lifestyle companies, today announced the opening of METT Milan Torre Velasca, marking the brand's debut in Italy.

Accepting reservations for stays from July 16, METT Milan Torre Velasca sets a new benchmark for luxury lifestyle hospitality at one of Milan's most storied architectural landmarks.

Developed in strategic partnership with Hines, this property occupies the crown of the iconic Torre Velasca, claiming the top nine floors (17th through 25th) of this architectural landmark, with 72 meticulously designed suites and residences set against one of Europe's most celebrated cityscapes.

A living gallery 

METT Milan Torre Velasca's 72 luxury suites, private residences, and penthouses are designed to bridge the gap between five-star service and the intuitive ease of a private home, SHG said. 

Conceived for both short- and long-term stays, each residence offers sweeping views of the Milanese skyline, from the spires of the Duomo to the rooftops of the fashion district, through floor-to-ceiling windows that transform the suite into a living gallery, shifting from soft morning light to the warm glow of the aperitivo hour.

Positioned at the intersection of heritage and contemporary luxury, the suites represent the premier choice for discerning travellers and residents seeking a refined lifestyle address in the heart of Milan.

World-class dining: Sushisamba and MIA

True to the METT way of life, the property serves as a social heartbeat for the city, with two landmark dining destinations anchoring its culinary identity:

* Sushisamba Milan arrives on the ground floor of Torre Velasca, marking the brand's long-awaited expansion into Italy. Internationally celebrated for its dynamic fusion of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cultures, SUSHISAMBA has captivated global audiences from its landmark outposts managed by SHG in Dubai (2021), Singapore's Capital Tower (2024), and more recently in Conrad Towers in Abu Dhabi. Its Milan debut will continue this legacy of culinary excellence while embracing the city's sophisticated dining scene.

* MIA Ristorante Italiano, located on the 18th floor, makes its world premiere at Torre Velasca. Named as a tribute to authenticity and self-expression, MIA combines Milanese elegance with a sophisticated gioia di vivere. Offering 360-degree panoramic views of the Milanese skyline, MIA's refined yet chic ambiance -- defined by creative design and understated elegance -- introduces a uniquely stylish Italian-Mediterranean dining experience to the city.

Social wellness and exclusive members club

Balance is central to the METT philosophy. A dedicated wellness and fitness floor introduces:

• The Spa at METT – a serene sanctuary celebrating Italian beauty traditions through tailored restoration rituals.

• METT Gym – powered by Technogym, offering state-of-the-art equipment designed for performance, recovery, and social fitness, blending Italian innovation with high-end athletic excellence.

Complementing the wellness offering is Madison House Milan, an exclusive members' club designed around the concept of social wellness. Bringing together hospitality, culture, business, and wellbeing, the club will offer members privileged access to curated dining experiences, a sophisticated bar and lounge, flexible co-working spaces, private meeting rooms, and a year-round programme of events and experiences. Set within Torre Velasca, Madison House is envisioned as a dynamic gathering place for Milan's creative, residential, and business communities, fostering meaningful connections in an elevated social environment.

Located at the heart of Milan

METT Milan Torre Velasca is positioned at the very centre of the city, within walking distance of the Duomo di Milano, Via Montenapoleone, Teatro alla Scala, and the Quadrilatero della Moda. An urban sanctuary for cultural explorers, the property offers effortless access to Milan's historic and commercial landmarks while delivering the privacy and refinement of a luxury private residence.

Jaime Buxó Clos, CEO of Sunset Hotels and Resorts, commented: "Milan has always been a city that commands the highest standards - in design, in culture, and in the way people choose to live. METT Milan Torre Velasca is our answer to that calling. By bringing the METT experience to one of Italy's most iconic architectural landmarks, in partnership with Hines, we are creating something that goes far beyond a hotel: a true lifestyle destination where world-class hospitality, extraordinary dining, and the soul of Milan converge on a single address. The appointment of the world's finest luxury brokers to represent our residences underlines our belief that Torre Velasca is a place to belong." - TradeArabia News Service
