Warwick International Hotels
welcomes two more hotels in Italy in its Collection!

Warwick International Hotels which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year is proud to welcome in its Collection two more hotels in Italy: Borgo La Bagnaia Resort & Spa in Siena and Hotel Hermitage in Milan.

"We are very proud of welcoming those two hotels into our Collection. They join our two Italian hotels, the Hotel d’Inghilterra in Rome and the Hotel Helvetia & Bristol in Florence” adds Jean-Marie Pebrel, Director of Sales & Marketing – France and Corporate Sales – Europe.

Borgo La Bagnaia Resort & Spa reigns over 1100 hectares, just twelve kilometres south west of Siena, where nature and history meet in perfect harmony. All of the 101 rooms and suites have magnificent views overlooking the splendid Tuscan countryside or the distant townscape of Siena. The interior decoration is characterized by fabulous original pieces, all made to measure, following the designs of the owner, by master craftsmen. The fabrics used for the upholstery; the curtains, bedcovers and cushions, have all been made following exclusive designs. There is a clever marriage of modern furnishings and rare examples of Chinese and European antiques, part of the owner's private collection.

The Restaurant “La Voliera” is an exquisite gastronomic journey through the authentic aromas and flavours of the finest Tuscan cuisine, an experience guaranteed to gratify not only the palette but also the eyes and sense of smell.

The Buddha Wellness Centre specializes in a variety of treatments inspired by different ethnic philosophies, sauna, and Turkish baths.  Pleasure and relaxation are further guaranteed by the inside pool decorated with columns and antique vases, and by the treatments using the precious thermal spring water.

With a seating capacity for up to 450 participants, the event venue provides the ideal location for seminars, lectures, product launches, theatrical shows and cultural events. The elegant banqueting hall is able to accommodate as many as 350 guests, providing the perfect setting for a variety of events from gala dinners to wedding receptions.

The Hotel Hermitage is located in an enviable position, between Corso Sempione and Brera, a short distance from the Stazione Centrale and just a few steps away from Milan's historic centre.

The Hotel Hermitage provides 131 rooms, all elegantly refined and with care taken over every detail. The 11 Suites and the Presidential Suite are particularly distinguished by their refined sitting rooms and the exclusiveness of their finishing touches.

The “Il Sambuco” restaurant is known internationally and offers excellent cuisine, with a particular attention to fish, which is always very fresh and of the highest quality.
Our open-air terrace is also available in the summer period, where guests can relax in quiet surroundings in the heart of Milan. It is ideal for evening meals, working lunches and every occasion in which elegance and quality are appreciated. Caesar’s Bar reflects the atmosphere of the Hotel Hermitage’s foyer.
The Hotel Hermitage Conference Centre is ideal for those who need an elegant, exclusive and professional setting in the heart of Milan. The centre has 4 rooms, two of which are modular and can be joined to create a single room seating 200 people.
