Tivoli President Milano Hotel
Milan, Italy · Tivoli Hotels · Accessible Luxury
Milan called it brutalist the day it appeared: Luigi Figini and Gino Pollini's great grey block on Largo Augusto, nine floors and more than a hundred metres of frontage in exposed concrete and honeycombed white granite, built between 1961 and 1965 and protected by heritage law ever since. Generations of Italians knew it simply as the Jolly President. Tivoli, the Lisbon house founded in 1933, reopened it in 2026 with 239 rooms, sixty suites and a 150 square metre Presidential Suite that connects to its own rooftop facing the Duomo. Rodrigo Izquierdo redrew the interiors. The Colonna del Verziere stands outside the door.

About Tivoli President Milano Hotel
- Luigi Figini and Gino Pollini designed the building between 1961 and 1965 and the Milanese press labelled it brutalist on sight; the original facade is now protected and could not be altered in the refit.
- The parapets are white Montorfano granite worked into a honeycomb, and the single block was built to hold a hotel, shops, offices, apartments and an underground garage all at once.
- For decades it traded as the Jolly Hotel President, then as NH Collection Milano President, before Tivoli took it on and reopened it in 2026.
- Six of the sixty suites look straight at the Duomo, and the new 150 square metre Presidential Suite opens onto a private panoramic rooftop.
History
The building at Largo Augusto was designed by Luigi Figini and Gino Pollini, with Cesare Blasi, and went up between 1961 and 1965 on a site that fills three quarters of a block along the line of the old Navigli ring. It was conceived as a single mixed-use complex: a large hotel plus shops, offices, apartments and an underground garage, nine storeys above ground with facades running over a hundred metres. Critics reached for the word brutalist immediately. The front toward the canals ring is unmediated exposed reinforced concrete; the Largo Augusto side is faced in blocks of white Montorfano granite with honeycombed parapets, and the hotel opens into a two-storey foyer. Pollini himself supervised a major overhaul in the early 1990s, and a further gut renovation in 2000 kept the protected facade while rebuilding the interiors.
Milan knew it for years as the Jolly Hotel President; later it became NH Collection Milano President. Minor Hotels announced its debut as Tivoli President Milano in April 2026 after a complete renovation, bringing the Tivoli brand, founded in Lisbon in 1933, to Milan. The reworked hotel carries 239 rooms including sixty suites, six of them with direct Duomo views, a 150 square metre Presidential Suite linked to a panoramic rooftop, a restaurant, meeting rooms and a Technogym fitness centre. Interiors are by Rodrigo Izquierdo.
The setting
Largo Augusto sits in the San Babila district, just inside the line of the filled-in Navigli, about five minutes on foot from the Duomo. The Colonna del Verziere, the seventeenth-century votive column that gives the square its landmark, stands directly outside. The hotel is at the southern edge of the Quadrilatero della Moda, between Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga, and looks toward Via Durini and the Durini design district. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and La Scala are a short walk; San Babila (M1, M4) and Duomo (M1, M3) are both under ten minutes away, and Linate airport is seven kilometres out on the M4.
