Within the iconic Torre Velasca, METT Hotels & Resorts — part of Sunset Hospitality Group — introduces a new way to experience Milan.
Following a meticulous restoration led by Sunset Hospitality and Hines, which preserved the landmark’s architectural identity and restored the purity of its modernist language, the tower’s crown has now been reimagined for a new generation of hospitality.
A balance of design, gastronomy, wellness, and social energy shapes a residential offering where international lifestyle meets Milanese culture, and every moment becomes part of a vibrant urban story.

Designed in the 1950s by the BBPR studio — Banfi, Belgiojoso, Peressutti, and Rogers — Torre Velasca is one of the most iconic works of post-war Italian architecture.
Its unmistakable silhouette, inspired by Lombardy’s medieval towers, blends modernist vision and historical memory into an urban landmark of extraordinary expressive power.
Affectionately known by Milanese residents as “the tower with suspenders,” it is the tallest building in the city’s historic center: an emblem where heritage, design, and contemporary life have come together for more than seventy years.
Milan is one of the world’s capitals of style, culture, and innovation, and its historic center is its beating heart.
This is where Torre Velasca stands: just steps away from the Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Teatro alla Scala, and the Fashion Quadrilateral, in a district where centuries of artistic and architectural heritage coexist with the cosmopolitan energy that defines the city today.
A setting where culture, design, fine dining, and world-class retail are not destinations to reach, but part of everyday life.
Located within the tower’s crown, the METT-branded apartments form an exclusive collection of premium residences for rent, available for both short and extended stays. Each unit combines the privacy of a private home with the services and lifestyle of a five-star hotel — a rare balance at one of Milan’s most recognizable addresses.
The interior design is by Matteo Thun & Partners: spaces defined by elegance, balance, and attention to detail, where bespoke furnishings and handcrafted elements interact with pieces from some of Italy’s most renowned design brands. The result is a contemporary interpretation of the tower’s 1950s modernist character, cohesive in its aesthetic and timeless in its quality.
Layouts range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments, featuring private outdoor spaces — loggias, balconies, or terraces — and open views across the city. The most prestigious residences enjoy direct views of Milan’s Duomo. Each apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen and advanced home automation systems, designed to support both short stays and long-term living.
Within Torre Velasca, the service offering is conceived as a self-contained ecosystem: not simply amenities, but destinations with their own distinct identity. Sushisamba Milan brings its internationally renowned signature experience to the heart of the tower, offering a culinary concept that blends Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian influences in refined spaces with a vibrant atmosphere. Mia, meanwhile, offers a dynamic interpretation of Milanese culture — bold in design, sophisticated in its culinary proposition, and enhanced by sweeping views across the city.
