Overnight stay in a holding cell? Not quite? The scratched concrete walls and the dark rooms are part of the design concept of the stylish Hotel Straf. Vincenzo De Cotiis was responsible for the work of art that is Hotel Straf, and if he doesn't know what the in-crowd of Milan need, then who does?

The rooms on offer here can be a bit oppressive for some guests. But the imminent panic-attack can be surpressed in one of the many wellbeing rooms available. Claustrophobics can relax in a massage chair or in the chromotherapy chambers. And for those that can't stand it anymore can workout in the 24-hour gym, which is frequented by fashion mavens.

Apropros fashion, here you are only a Gucci-dress from the golden district away. So for a break from the slate, you can grab yourself a small black number from Dolce. A must-sleep for fashionistas! Double rooms from €200 a night.
