The facade: A tired shrug of the shoulders. The entrance: A small raise of the eyebrows. The hotel: Pure design! You may be a bit wary at first as the location is somewhat removed from the historical centre of Milan and the surrounding exhibition district is a bit drab. But keep a tight grip of your baggage as you enter the lobby! The futuristic decor, the modern art on display and the enchanting chandelier will have you involuntarily searching for the wormhole from which this bizarre dimension came from.

Is it just a trick? Do the rooms stay true to what the lobby promises its guests? Sure, when the curtains part, then you will quickly forget the grey walls serving as dividers of space. Between the bathroom and bedroom there are no hinges there to squeak, rather floating coloured matter. The highlight: the seats! Retro-style executed in pure white, they make the designers of the starship Enterprise go green at the gills. A double rooms are available from 128 euros per night.
