Four Seasons Hotel Milano has joined forces with celebrated designer JJ Martin, the visionary behind Milan’s iconic lifestyle label La DoubleJ, to craft an exclusive gelato experience that redefines summer luxury in the heart of the city.
For discerning travelers, nothing embodies an authentic Italian summer quite like savoring artisanal gelato. Under the creative direction of renowned Pastry Chef Daniele Bonzi,
introduces a curated selection of signature gelato flavors, elegantly presented in vibrant, collectible cups designed by JJ Martin herself. These limited-edition cups, adorned with La DoubleJ’s unmistakable patterns, capture the city’s essence—high fashion, artistic flair, and daring design.
La DoubleJ, helmed by Milan-based American designer JJ Martin, is celebrated globally for its exuberant prints and retro-chic aesthetic. The brand’s distinctive style, merging archival Italian motifs with a modern twist, has been featured at prestigious retailers including Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Le Bon Marché in Paris, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and Harvey Nichols in Dubai.
“Being located in Milan’s Fashion District, we are deeply inspired by the city’s creative pulse. With the return of warm weather and a renewed appreciation for gourmet gelato, collaborating with La DoubleJ was a natural fit. JJ Martin’s bold, joyful designs perfectly reflect the spirit of Milanese summer,” shares Andrea Obertello, General Manager.
Martin’s artistic vision extends to every detail, from the playful redesign of the hotel’s gelato cart to the bespoke serving cups. The result is a whimsical pop-up in the hotel’s historic courtyard—an Instagram-worthy setting where guests can indulge in both visual and culinary delights.
Chef Bonzi’s gelato menu showcases the finest ingredients sourced from across Italy and beyond: fragrant Sicilian Val di Noto almonds, sun-ripened lemons from Lake Garda’s shores, and rare blue java bananas imported from the Pacific—all chosen for their exceptional flavor profiles and creamy textures.
Guests can enjoy these decadent gelatos in the hotel’s serene private garden, a secluded retreat nestled within a former 15th-century convent. Once a thriving kitchen garden, today this lush sanctuary offers an unrivaled escape from the city’s vibrant bustle—perfect for savoring a summer treat in tranquility.
Alongside world-class shopping and cultural treasures, Milan’s Fashion District now tempts visitors with this exclusive gelato experience—where style, flavor, and relaxation meet in a single, unforgettable moment at Four Seasons Hotel Milano.
