Frette open air

Luxury linen and home accessory specialist Frette brings its signature style to Terrazza Isola, the rooftop of Palazzo Cordusio Gran Meliá, overlooking the iconic Duomo of Milan

With a bespoke approach honed over 164 years, outfitting over 1500 luxury hotels, private residences (including the beds of over 500 European royal families!), yachts, jets, the Orient Express dining car, and even the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica, Frette has always understood the art of blending elegance with hospitality, craftsmanship with refinement.

Oasis Outdoor by Frette

Building on their existing textile furnishings—bed and bath linens—for the suites of Palazzo Cordusio Gran Meliá in Milan, Frette now extends its creations to the exclusive Terrazza Isola, offering breathtaking views of the Duomo square. The hotel is part of the Spanish group Meliá Hotels International (MHI), which has more than 400 hotels in over 40 countries and 10 brands. Following the custom monogramming and fabric design for the wellness area, this same tailored approach is now showcased in the hotel’s open-air spaces with the new Oasis collection.

The Oasis collection’s selection of towels, bathrobes, and decorative cushions stands out with its nature-inspired color palettes. Crafted from soft-to-the-touch and weather-resistant fabrics, the collection achieves a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, where traditional craftsmanship meets technological innovation.

The cushions, made with durable, weather-resistant fabrics, are available in GarnetRed-Stone and Stone-Black tones; the beach towels feature fringed edges, and the unisex bathrobe with a shawl collar in pure cotton terry completes the collection. Every element of this new collection is the perfect choice for those who value the outdoor experience as highly as the luxury of the most refined and exclusive interiors. This latest offering reaffirms Frette’s commitment to defining bespoke hospitality.
