1. MAISON MOSCHINO
Am I dreaming? Hard to say when you find yourself at the surreal Maison Moschino, in via Monte Grappa 12, where refined interiors give life to cozy atmospheres and voilà, you become part of the fairy-tale. It's like falling down the rabbit hole and all of a sudden you feel like Alice in Wonderland: Alice's Room – Little Red Riding Hood – Sleeping in Ballgown. Those names ring a bell, don't they? Expect the unexpected: teacups turning into original tables, lavish gowns unveiling a king bed and soft origami clouds becoming creative lamp designs.
2. CHÂTEAU MONFORT
Located in a historical building designed by Paolo Mezzanotte and really close to the city centre, Château Monfort is the 5-star boutique hotel, known for its vintage style and for its romantic atmosphere. Enjoy a fabulous stay and don't forget to stop by the Sala del Dolce Risveglio – a tearoom where cups and teapots are turned into lamps and one of the three areas of the signature restaurant Rubacuori. And we have something as well for our business partners: the Hall of Enchantment is the perfect place to host flawless and unforgettable meetings and events.
3. HOTEL STRAF MILANO
Unconventional, innovative and inspired by the modern art movement called Arte Povera. There are no better words to describe the Hotel Straf, which is within walking distance from the Duomo and pretty close to the fashion district. The atmosphere is intimate and warm thanks to the unique materials that have been used for its construction, like the quarry-rough slate, the burnished brass, concrete and iron and the glass gauze. Every room represents a sweet escape from everyday hassle, where relaxation and well-being are a must with a specific corner dedicated to aromatherapy, chromo therapy and to the massage chaise-longue. Last but not the least: the Bar Straf and its live music are at the top of Milan's nightlife.
4. NHOW
A tribute to modern design and a mixture between hotel, art gallery and showroom. Nhow is versatile and astonishing. No wonder it has been built in the most creative area of Milan, in via Tortona, where General Electric headquarter used to stand. A small paradise for all design lovers, who can admire Eero Saarinen's oval table, the armchairs designed by Matteo Thun for Frau and lamps from the Choose series by Artemide. And when it's time for happy hour, let yourself surprise by the pop atmosphere at Nhow Bar designed by the British-Egyptian Karim Rashid.
5. ANTICA LOCANDA DEI MERCANTI
If you are looking for peace and relax, then Antica Locanda dei Mercanti is the place for you. This sophisticated hotel, located between the Duomo and the Castello Sforzesco, has only 15 rooms – some of them are even facing stunning privates terraces - and its bright interiors combined with a divine sense of quietness will make you forget the frenetic outside world.
6. THE YARD MILANO
9 Suites, 4 Annexes and 1 Penthouse: welcome to the Yard Milano. Sport is the key inspiration for this gorgeous boutique hotel, literally a few steps from Porta Genova. Guests are truly taken care of and can request a series of exclusive services, like bikes and skateboards, personal shopper, in-room massages and much more. And if you happen to fall madly in love with some items or pieces of furniture exposed at the Yard, you can purchase them, upon request.
