Hotel Principe di Savoia is a five-star hotel in Milan, Italy. This hotel has long become one of Milan's Landmarks.
Founded by the name of "Principe e Savoia" in 1927, a time when Milan had already established its position as financial center of the country, it soon became a home for businessmen. With time, celebrities of all kinds chose The Principe for their Italian stays:Edward VIII, Erich Maria Remarque, Charlie Chaplin, Josephine Baker, The Aga Khan, Aristotle Onassis, Evita Peron, Maria Callas; and in recent years Madonna, David Beckham and George Clooney among others.
In 2003 the hotel became part of the Dorchester Collection (owned by the Brunei Investment Agency), which includes The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Dorchester in London, the Hôtel Plaza Athénée and Hôtel Meurice in Paris.
The Principe was refurbished in 2009, with the creation of a new lobby bar (Il Salotto), the Principe Bar, Acanto Restaurant and the Club 10 Spa.
