Hotel Straf
Milan · Italy
Hotel Straf keeps its nineteenth-century Milanese shell but replaces period convention indoors with Vincenzo de Cotiis’s concrete, dark slate, gauzed glass and distressed mirrors. The 66 rooms form a compact retreat beside Piazza del Duomo, with a bar, gym, spa facilities and room service on hand; the Galleria, cathedral and La Scala lie close enough for the city to remain central to the stay.
