"Don’t be fooled by the slightly traditional stone facade; behind it lies one of Italy’s most avant-garde hotels. Built with deliberately bold materials—slate, brass, iron, concrete—the 4-star hotel draws a fashionable crowd. The impact of the "industrial-chic" interiors (all created by architect-designer Vincenzo de Cotiis) is endlessly impressive, from the bare concrete walls to the torn gauze trapped between sheets of glass along the corridors. Rooms are spacious yet discreet, with tailor-made chairs and sofas, bold lighting, and mirrored walls that open to reveal minibars and closets. Bathrooms are fitted with aged mirrors and designer sinks, and the showers have sheet-metal floors and brass walls. As one might expect from an edgy hotel like this, the staff are young and hip rather than formal, and their insider recommendations tend to be on the cool and in-the-know side."

Clean and comfortable hotel in an excellent location. Room is spartan with no decorations or art and without a chair, only a couple of stools upon which to sit on at a ledge-like table under the window. Bathroom is more than adequate with a rain shower. No vanity around the sink, just a very low ledge to place items. The key to this hotel is its proximity to the Duomo and shopping. Plenty of excellent restaurants with great food and reasonable prices. Milan is a very walkable city, flat and safe. Didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant because of the abundance of local restaurants.

Perfect design everywhere in the hotel - an impressive aesthetic experience. The proximity to Duomo makes it an ideal location for the visitor. An almost personal spa that includes two saunas and a pool is a gem of the place. The very welcoming staff who help and take care of the guests made the stay experience perfect. We have already recommended the hotel to all our friends and acquaintances who will be coming to Milan.

The hotel is right in the middle of the city, steps from the Domo. It's a bit noisy at night, and I'd avoid it in peak tourist season for that reason. The rooms are high design, with good electrical plugs and great showers. Some of the design elements are not particularly practical, but fun for a 2 night stay. The little spa is a treat - nice after a day of travel. The weak point of the hotel is the staff. I got the feeling I was bothering them when I asked a question. One member of staff was simply rude and sarcastic. I left the hotel upset with how he'd responded to my questions about the room tax.

The design of the hotel and the location was the best thing of this hotel. Very central and close to most of the attractions and shopping. Perfect for a couple. The spa area was really small though and totally forgotten with no clean towels or water. The pool was not heated and the steam room was not turned on. It was also really loud in the morning and you could hear everything from the hallway.

Perfect location, literally 50 steps from Duomo. Excellent service and great personnel. The rooms are truly an art project and wouldn't be everyone's taste. They are dark and minimalist, with a very comfortable, but low profile bed. There's a beautiful wellness area with sauna and soaking pool, but I didn't have time to use it. We stayed for 1 night, which we found intriguing, but I wouldn't want to be there for my full vacation as my opinion is that it's not a welcoming, cozy environment. The staff are incredibly welcoming and warm, however. They get 5 stars! I'd recommend a stay for a unique experience and perfect location.

5 stars well earned. The staff are really friendly and helpful, the hotel and rooms are brilliant all in a stones throw of Duomo Cathedral. Marta was excellent and helped get dinner reservations at late notice but all the staff deserve credit for making our stay so good.

We spent 2 nights in the hotel. We were upgraded to a comfort room (room 104). I think if available you should try to get a higher floor. On the 2nd night there was this weird rolling back and forth on the floors upstairs. We phone down around 1 am and then it stopped shortly thereafter so not sure if it was a guest upstairs.||It is a very artsy hotel but the room was spacious. I agree the slippers are a little thin||Our room has a window overlooking the street below but had wooden covers over the windows if you didn't want people to see inside. ||The location is the key: the Duomo is right across the street so super convenient. Staff were friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions.
