Whitewaller Milan 2018: Where to Stay

No contributor

Milan’s hotels offer the best in terms of amenities, spas, pools, restaurants, and nightlife. Here we’ve put together a list of the best places to stay during Milan Art Week.

STRAFhotel&bar
This STRAF project, encompassing a stunning hotel and vibrant bar, is an architectural and artistic gem. Chosen for their natural components, the materials making up the hotel (such as burnished brass, oxidized copper, concrete and mirrored walls, and industrial iron panels) evoke sophisticated tastes. Moving away from clichéd hotel concepts, STRAF has personalized the design of the rooms to expand spaces with illusionary perspectives. “I imagine the STRAF hotel as a type of installation; a concept from which I began to extract a multitude of elements associated with contemporary art,” said architect and interior designer Vincenzo de Cotiis.
