WHAT WE LOVE...

Situated in perhaps the most design-focused district of a very design-focused city, nhow Milan does not disappoint in the style stakes. Arriving here, you could be stepping inside a night club - but the vibe inside is relaxed. Bright and colourful social spaces giving way to peaceful, mostly-white rooms. Via Tortona is, like many trendy neighbourhoods, a former industrial area - but it's well-connected, too, with Porta Genova metro stop a 15-minute walk from the hotel and the bars of the Navigli canal about 20. nhow has a bar and a restaurant, too, but even if the only meal you eat here is from the breakfast buffet, you'll be impressed.

Style & Character

Cool cats and stylish young couples who want the reliability of a chain but the character of a boutique property will love this hotel. There are notes handwritten in bright orange on the bedroom mirrors saying things like 'Seriously, you look gorgeous': surprisingly uplifting!

Service & Facilities

Communal spaces host an ever-changing roster of themed art exhibitions - guests can pick up a catalogue from reception, and each work is for sale. The hotel has several pet-friendly rooms (35 euros per stay), equipped with extras such as beds, bowls and toys.

Rooms

Though pricey, the penthouse is genuinely impressive - spread over two levels, it features a cocoon-like bed and a bathtub styled like a swimming pool. Bedrooms are very peaceful, and even entry-level ones come with a capsule coffee machine, kettle and Clipper teas.

Food & Drink

Designed by Karim Rashid, the colour-panelled lounge bar is a bright spot for a glass of wine or a cocktail. The bar does light meals as well as drinks, and offers a mean version of that hotel staple - the chicken Caesar salad.

restaurant: warm but sleekly contemporary design, creative Mediterranean cuisine, healthy choices. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
lounge bar: thrilling, colourful modern design, bar menu and cocktails. Serving all day.
