Built in 1958, Miramonti is a family-owned hotel recently passed onto the third-generation who had a clear vision for its refurbishment and legacy. The hotel was to be fully modernised, offering guests something completely different in terms of room layout, furnishings, lighting and materials. The design had to be a real game changer and through its new focus on the locality, environment and sustainability, Miramonti could continue to be enjoyed by future generations of guests and locals. Located two hours from Milan in stunning countryside, Miramonti, meaning mountain view, draws its name from nature. Its minimalist interiors are inspired by the beauty of its surroundings provide a tranquil place where guests can experience total relaxation, reconnect with nature and re-balance. The deep terracotta facade evokes the changing seasons and rich natural Italian colour palette. In the twenty-one guest bedrooms, the complementary green and blue colour schemes are both balanced and calming. Drawing on the elements of earth, fire, air, water and wood, materials were selected for their authentic properties and link to the surrounding environment and feature in the natural stone wash basins, carved wooden bedframes, solid trunk coffee tables, round metal bedsides and soft natural fabrics. Miramonti’s redesign celebrates conscious design showing what can be achieved when design is fully considered from all aspects; aesthetics, functionality, innovation, social and environment impact.
