Isola / Porto Nuova

Once a working-class area that was cut off from the rest of Milan, Isola has become the city’s foremost gourmet destination.

For food lovers in Milan there is no better location, with gastronomic highlights including La Briciola, renowned for its meat, Eataly, a three-floor celebration of the finest local Italian produce and cooking, and Italy’s very first micro-distillery, The Botanical Club.

Visitors staying here will also be able to admire the neighbourhood’s variety of award-winning, pioneering design projects like Bosco Verticale, contemporary residential towers which are covered in over 900 trees and plants.
