The Gray

In the streets neighbouring the Duomo of Milan you'll find The Gray; a hotel that prides itself on being cutting-edge with its attitude to design and interiors and it is safe to say that they aren't wrong. Openly admitting that they are not the grand affair you would expect to find in a Baroque city, they say that the combination of ebony wood and ivory-coloured fabrics and leather bears a certain warmth that can be likened to that of a family home. If you are looking for a home from home for your stay in Milan, then The Gray is perfect for you.

The Hub

For those looking to escape the city at the end of a long day then The Hub might be to your liking and, with its efficient shuttle service, the city will never feel out of reach. This 162 rooms of The Hub also include Superior and Deluxe rooms, offering the same design details and hi-tech touches found in the Classic rooms, just on a grander scale. Also, if the view is important, I advise that you grab a room on the upper floors to wakeup to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. With its wellness spa and fitness centre, the hotel is also perfect for those wanting to break out in a sweat and relax before bedtime.

Antica Locanda dei Mercanti

A short walk from Milan's historical centre, the slight streets of Brera and the fashion district, Antica Locanda dei Mercanti will captivate you with its surprising light rooms that are masked the severe 18^th-century building. With the inclusion of 4 private terraces, this hotel is a rare find in the heart of Milan where you can be at such peace in the middle of such a bustling urban environment. So, if the thought of being a stones throw away from all the Design Week action (parties) sounds like your kind of thing, then I suggest you get booking!
