Bespoke experiences for gastronomy lovers by Radisson Collection

In June 2024, Radisson Collection launched its Gastronomy Series – a collection of gastronomic travel experiences for food and travel connoisseurs, in exceptional Radisson Collection destinations across the globe. The Series aims to enrich the guest experience for both foodie travelers and everyday explorers alike through the multi-faceted series. Firstly, a video testimonial series with the aim of inspiring future hotel guests to discover iconic destinations from a gastronomic point of view, discovering culinary traditions through the guidance of local connoisseurs. Secondly, Radisson Collection creates foodie guides for each of the Series destinations, encouraging and empowering guests to explore flavors found off the beaten path in each featured city. Lastly, to celebrate the Gastronomy Series, each of the six destinations is creating special edition “Taste of Heritage” dishes that will be available for a limited time as part of the Radisson Collection restaurant menus. 

First Stop Milan: A Culinary Journey Through Time

The first edition of the Radisson Collection Gastronomy Series kicks off in Milan, one of the culinary capitals of the world, with a collaboration featuring local content creator Marko Morciano. Milan's vibrant culture stretches back millennia, and this rich history is beautifully reflected in its cuisine. Milanese food celebrates simplicity and authenticity, blended with the sophistication that has built the city's reputation as a beloved destination for food lovers. The gastronomic scene in Milan is a harmonious fusion of the past and the present. Age-old recipes are lovingly preserved and presented with contemporary flair. From golden saffron-infused risotto alla Milanese to the decadence of ossobuco, every dish is a testament to the region's mastery of comforting yet refined fare. And, as in every city across Italy, pasta reigns supreme, lovingly crafted with respect for traditional methods that have stood the test of time. 

The “Milanese Guide for Foodies” will be produced and made available to hotel guests over the course of summer, while the limited edition “Taste of Heritage” dish will be available on the Bertarelli restaurant menu in the fall of 2024. 

Experiencing Exceptional Gastronomy at Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan

The heart of this culinary journey lies at the Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan. This stunning hotel embodies Milan's rich heritage, seamlessly blending the historic charm of the Palazzo Bertarelli with modern luxury. Designed in 1914 by Achille Binda, the Palazzo Bertarelli is an exquisite expression of the late Art Nouveau period. Originally the headquarters of the Touring Club Italiano, the building is a testament to the city's illustrious past. 

Within the hotel's elegant surroundings and with impeccable service, guests can indulge in a luxurious Italian culinary experience. Under the expert supervision of Chef Luca, each meal becomes a delightful journey through Italy's culinary landscape. From elegant, comforting pasta dishes to delicate and delightful desserts, every item on the menu is crafted with the freshest ingredients and a passion for perfection.

A Culinary Adventure with local content creator, Marko Morciano

In this first episode of our "Taste of Heritage" series, social media influencer Marko Morciano, known for his passion for travel and food, joins forces with Luca Franz, head chef at the Radisson Collection Hotel, Palazzo Touring Club Milan. Together, they create a classic pasta dish: Tagliatelle with a luxurious white Ragú sauce. The recipe, featuring the finest ingredients like 24-month-old Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, brings Marco right back to his childhood. As showcased in the video, Luca confirms a universal truth: Grandma's recipes truly are the best.
