Designed by
Patricia Urquiola, the long-awaited Four Seasons Hotel Milan Spa features 200-year-old vaulted ceilings and has been developed at a cost of EUR6m (US$7.3m, £4.7m).
Hotel owner Gruppo Statuto has funded the development of the spa, which is initially open to hotel guests. It will also be available to non-residents from later this year.
Spa facilities include seven treatment rooms, a swimming pool, a Turkish bath and a Scottish shower, as well as a Technogym-equipped fitness studio, a signature hair spa and a sauna.
Treatments offered by the Four Seasons Hotel Milan Spa use products from La Prairie and Sodashi, while Rossano Ferretti - creator of the Methodo cut - oversees the hair spa.
A spokesperson for the hotel said: "Renowned designer Patricia Urquiola has created a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere removed from the noise of the city.
"Through a combination of warm colours and design techniques such as
serigraphy, the spa creates a relaxing environment for guests."
