A hub of creative ideas

May 22, 2019

six presents its new hotel concept in Milan: the Sister Hotel, Six, conceived as a space both physical and conceptual where apparently distant projects intersect and become complementary.

The Sister Hotel, whose name indirectly recalls the original function of the place, a monastery of nuns, was conceived by entrepreneur Mauro Orlandelli, founder of the holistic Six project, and art director Samuele Savio.

The Sister Hotel is inspired by the hôtel particulier, the luxurious French city residences that housed the nobles in the 16th century. The idea of hospitality for The Sister Hotel was born from this, the desire to offer an experience in a sophisticated but informal environment, a bohemian oasis where design, art and food come together.

The hotel is tightly connected with the reality of Six: the architectural design and furnishings, partly vintage and partly new, customized according to the specific needs of the rooms, are the result of the work of the designers Quincoces-Dragò, head of the Six Gallery; the coordinated image is in symbiosis with the aesthetic concept of Six, both curated by art director Samuele Savio; the terrazzo used for the floors are designed by Forest Design, the materials design studio located within Six; lastly, the food&beverage offer is made available by GinO12/Sixième bistrot.

The hotel consists of nine rooms, with one suite and two junior suites, each with its own specific identity. The prevailing style is an eclectic mix of sophisticated furnishings, timeless romantic details and contemporary elements, which together give a welcoming and refined atmosphere. The homage to the city of Milan is manifested through the use of the typical colors of the city (black, coral red and gold), readopted and made more precious, which predominate in the amenities and objects that make up the setting. Souvenirs for customers are also rigorously produced by Milanese artists and brands, while the cuisine offer is rich with local proposals.

The latest novelty unveiled by Six is Foodology, the creative concept born from the joint efforts of the expertise in distillates GinO12 bar and the culinary excellence of the Sixième bistrot.

To explain what Foodology is, it is necessary to start from what it is not: it is not, in fact, a new format of mixology, nor a simple food pairing, but it represents a new, revolutionary way of conceiving the combination of dishes and drinks. Foodology is a tasting experience based on a precise scheme: removing a fundamental ingredient of the dish to find it in the paired drink, exclusively based on gin. Traditional Italian dishes and drinks thus complement each other in an eclectic and unexpected way, offering a unique and full-of-surprises culinary experience.
