Thanks for calling @callmedtop. Any idea what the soft opening entails? Just a limited number of guests or also limited amenities? Wondering if the breakfast will be dimmed down a good bit. I'll take some pictures in a couple of weeks when I go and gladly update if no one is there before then.

Are FTers forgetting that guaranteed availability quotes RACK?
If the hotel is not accepting standard reservations, you should simply stay somewhere else.
Soft openings tend to use hotel chain staff to test new facilities while much of the property is not operational.
Are you really willing to pay 2k Euros for a terrible experience and probably no upgrade?

I don't think anyone is paying the 2000 euro, but I imagine lots of folks have rooms booked on points or on cash at the rates that were previously available (500-800 euro).
End of the day, if the F&B or other situation is so subpar as to dampen the stay, I'll ask for some points back or a comped bar tab or something. For a one nighter, that's all still preferable to paying for the MO out of pocket.

I've noticed rates are astronomical across Europe this Summer. I'm burning all my points for the same reason. Even buying what I needed is securing suites at 1/4 of the best available rate.

In 2021 Park Hyatt Milano undertook a complete property renovation, focusing on its rooms and suites, gastronomic restaurant and Spa. The last part of this important project is still ongoing.
The hotel is currently open and operating with a limited inventory of rooms; for this reason several dates may already be sold out.
The gastronomic restaurant and Spa will reopen in April 2022.
---------
Any idea about the gastronomic restaurant?
There's now availability in April.

I'll find out in a few days time. Hoping that this is replacing the former Michelin starred restaurant. The breakfast at PH Milan was always noted as being generous - would hate for that to not be open yet.

I'm here and it's beautiful. Main lobby restaurant is fully operational, the club sandwich and 'Plin' ravioli are both excellent. Room is great, service stellar, so far impressed. Will post review later!

If you've stayed there before, what's changed in the common areas and the rooms?

20 rooms occupied tonight; upgrade from points booking was only to a deluxe but it's a very nice room and I got the impression that there are few if any suites ready for occupancy yet. More to come but here are a few pics of the room (and the cute hotel-branded slippers and rhinoceros they provided for the baby). There is also a sitting area with table and 2 chairs from which I took the first picture but I haven't yet taken a picture of it. Ciao!

This appears to have no character or local culture. What does the painting signify and the shape of the mirror?

It looks like they barely touched the bathrooms aside from ripping out the embedded tub to plunk a freestanding one in there, thereby disrupting the clean, elegant lines of all that beautiful stonework... and the bedroom, egads. The previous rooms with the yellow panels, minimalist furniture and creams and whites was timeless; this outcome just looks generic and downscale between the crap mirror and swirly artwork. Maybe those are just bad photos of the room, but I'm SERIOUSLY unimpressed from what I see so far.
I hope they didn't kill this hotel - would be a shame if they took away its beautiful spirit.
