The private club owned and operated by Armani, the Armani/Privé club, is reopening once again for the winter months after an extensive and sumptuous refurb.

The legendary watering hole is a regular haunt for the Milanese fashion crowd and international cognoscenti that flock to the Italian fashion capital every season. Known for its sumptuous and warm atmosphere, it's a favorite for afterwork drinks as well as late-night cocktails.

True to the Armani aesthetic signature, the revamped Armani/Privé club features an interior in warm golden hues of bronze and gold. The 640-square-meter club is designed to hold 500 guests, with the interior dominated now by two backlit bar tops and a central dance floor encircled by smaller tables, generous golden leather-bound chairs and cushions.

New for 2016, the bar now features a secret, discrete entrance for when you're rocking up as a VIP, accessed from Via Manzoni, while the main entrance on and the direct access from sister restaurant Armani/Nobu has been kept in place.

With its diverse music policy, club nights will oscillate around an eclectic library that'll always be international and contemporary – reflecting the vibes that Armani as a brand encompasses. So expect anything from house to soulful RnB, live performances and more. You can check out the new and improved Armani/Privé club now, with the space open through the European winter months until June.
