In the heart of Brescia, halfway between Milan and Verona, stands a 13th century palazzo decorated with frescoes from 1750. Vipp opens its opulent gates to an ephemeral hotel experience fusing Scandinavian minimalism with Baroque maximalism.
Palazzo Pop-Up
Entering the opulent gates of the 13th century palazzo in the heart of Brescia is like stepping into an old master’s painting. A voluminous staircase framed by pastel frescoes guides the guest in almost royal manner to the Vipp guesthouse occupying the first floor.
The Baroque frames will take on a new dimension melding together art, design, and hospitality with a pop-up hotel by Vipp. Envisioned as a liveable installation, realised by Danish interior designer, Julie Cloos Mølsgaard, Vipp Palazzo Monti is the 7th entry in Vipp’s guesthouse portfolio, a deconstructed hotel concept involving leading architects and designers in the exploration of architectural archetypes turned one-of-a kind bookable venues.
Vipp Palazzo Monti is open April 18th – May 18th, 2023
