Restaurant "Al V piano" - both by name and in reality.
Overlooking the roofs of Milan, it is accessed via a lift.
It is a cosy area with a half arched ceiling, a large antique
mirror as scene design, ostrich chairs and design lamps.
The design is essential but not cold - modern classicality in
every shade of dove-grey and sand. The restaurant is the realm of
light, but sophisticated cuisine based on the Mediterranean influence
while daring to effect some creative touches, and without neglecting
the great classic Lombardy and Milanese dishes and some old dishes.
Fusion and reminiscence are the words which chef likes to use
for summing up his cuisine.
The Salone Visconti is available for banquets and functions.
Bright and elegant, its large windows overlook the park.
Compared with Milan's other cocktail bars, the Visavis is the
ideal solution for enjoying spending time in.
The Visavis bar is the place for
pre-dinner drinks and informal
meetings in an intimate setting, in which to enjoy the best cocktails
or even just a coffee.
Named Visavis precisely because it is vis-à-vis or face to
face, you can come here with colleagues to discuss matters, with
friends to joke with them, with your partner or soul mate to make
plans, or sometimes even on your own to do some thinking.
Every week, the winter garden of the Grand Visconti
Palace is transformed into "Not Just Jazz" - the most
intimate and appealing of Milanese music clubs, and a stage for
thrilling live appearances open not only to the hotel guests but also
to all music lovers, not just jazz buffs.
Not Just Jazz was born thanks to the specific desire of
General Manager Claudio Gnoni, who right from the very beginning wished
to strongly connote the hotel as a meeting place for musical and
cultural events.
The idea behind the project was to create a veritable
"cultural salon", a club promoting the quality music culture and which
would abolish the artificial barriers between the public and the
artists to allow exchanges of ideas and a refreshing reciprocal
transfer of emotions, ideas and perceptions.
The intuition of the founders of Not Just Jazz was to bring
Jazz to the hotel, by moving into Italy a means of exploitation that is
unusual here but absolutely normal in the USA, and without neglecting
other types of music on condition that it is high level music.
The programming is managed with skill and passion by the Art
Directors of the Grand Visconti Palace. It puts
forward all "colours" of Jazz music and other music too, through
concerts and evenings with artists of national and international
importance.
In addition, the hotel's art directors can offer any type of
artistic service on a "turnkey" basis for functions, events and
conferences.
