Four Seasons Hotel Milano in Milan, Italy, has announced that its long-awaited spa, which has been designed by architect Patricia Urquiola, will have its soft opening next month after nearly 10 years in development.
The new spa has been incorporated into the former 15th century convent following detailed planning, with the original 19th century vaulted ceilings preserved as part of the project.
Seven treatment rooms, a swimming pool and a Turkish bath with a sauna and a whirlpool will be among the facilities, along with a signature hair spa by Rossano Ferretti.
Luxury product houses La Prairie and Sodashi will be used at the spa, while new facilities also include a fitness studio with equipment supplied by Technogym.
Urquiola said: "Here we have tried to achieve, through a harmonious atmosphere of space, materials and colours, a realisation of beauty that every guest will associate with both an emotional and absolute organic idea of comfort."

Elevate is set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in style this June, with organisers
confirming the event’s largest-ever drinks reception as registrations continue to run more
than 10% ahead of last year.
UK Active has announced the next phase of its Digital Futures programme, supporting organisations
across the physical activity sector to develop their digital capability.

strategic partnership with Serco Leisure, one of the UK's leading national operators of
