The private rooftop at Bianca Maria Palace Hotel

In Milan, having a rooftop for private events is an undisputed asset. Sipping a drink as the sunset reflects across the skyline, historic churches and palazzi is a cherished Milanese ritual. That is why the terraces of Milan’s finest hotels are sought-after settings for exclusive events, with a relaxed, international atmosphere framing splendid views over the city. When the hotel, like Bianca Maria Palace, is housed in a fine example of 1940s Milanese architecture—restored with full respect for the original structure and rare marble features—hosting an event (and attending one) becomes an absolute pleasure.

Bianca Maria Palace Hotel sits on a historic and strategic avenue in the city, Viale Bianca Maria, not far from Piazza V Giornate and the quadrilatero della moda, exceptionally convenient for reaching Linate airport as well as Stazione Centrale. The hotel, which has been home to historic companies since the mid-20th century (‘900), today is an understated, elegant setting that retains plenty of personality and represents the quintessence of Milanese design, well suited to both business travellers and discerning visitors. In this setting, it offers 6 spacious meeting rooms with natural light, including the Sala Leonardo, and a delightful rooftop exclusively for guests, the perfect setting for corporate events or private parties.
Located on the seventh floor, it features an indoor room almost entirely surrounded by glass walls, finished with low tables, golden Madrigal lamps, armchairs in shades of blue and petrol, and small gold poufs, alongside an outdoor terrace kept warm on crisp spring evenings by two pyramid patio heaters. Thoughtfully laid out with tables, armchairs, cushions and glowing lanterns, the terrace comes into its own after dusk, when the atmosphere and views across south-eastern Milan become truly magical.

Naturally, no proper event is complete without excellent food and music, both managed directly by the hotel alongside set-up and photographer hire if required. Unless requested otherwise, the buffet is usually arranged on the right-hand side of the indoor room, while hosts can choose between discreet background music or a dedicated DJ set for a more engaging and contemporary party. But beyond the stunning aesthetics, Sala Leonardo also caters to every technical need: an 82-inch screen for presentations or photos, a sound system with wireless microphones and Wi-Fi are all available on request.
