The Palazzo Cordusio opened its doors for the first time in 1901. Located in Milan, Italy, it was originally constructed to serve as the headquarters of the Italian Post and Telegraph company. The building is an example of the architectural transformation of Milan during that period, blending neoclassical and eclectic styles.

It reopened as a luxury hotel under the Meliรก Hotels International Group in September 2023. This building, now known as The Gran Meliรก Cordusio, was transformed from a historic structure into a high-end hotel in the heart of Milan.

The hotel sits in proximity to key landmarks such as Duomo Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and Milanโ€™s high-end shopping district: an area that reflects the cityโ€™s continual progress, where the future coexists with the deepest sense of historic significance.

Palazzo Cordusio offers 5 new dining experiences: fine Asian cuisine, pasticceria, a panoramic rooftop with casual Italian cuisine, and a stand out bar. The Spa is a discrete and private place with a large indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, sauna and Turkish bath.

If you are looking to stay in Milan, make sure Gran Meliรก Cordusio is one of the places you stay.

Lagoon Attitude is an island escape combining a chilled daytime vibe with a lively after-hours buzz and local flavour.

On holiday, there are times you want a buzzy scene, times you want to kick back and chill, and times you want to live like a local. This is where Lagoon Attitude comes in, an adults-only escape hugging the shores of a huge lagoon on the north coast of Mauritius.

This revamped island hangout is designed around three zones: lively, laid-back and local, so you can find your perfect vibe. Whichever ambience youโ€™re after, itโ€™s all about the experience at Lagoon Attitude, whether thatโ€™s dining on Mauritian cuisine under the stars, indulging in a sea-inspired spa treatment or giving back to the natural environment.

The All Inclusive plan here gives you a choice of venues for lunch and dinner and you can even pre-book a picnic basket if you are heading out for the day. You can also book to dine at any other Attitude hotel on the island for even more variety (Transfer at own cost).
