HOTEL THE GRAY - design hotels in Milan - Italy
The Gray is one of the best
design hotels situated right
in the center of Milan, close
to the Duomo, the Scala Opera
House, and the glass domed Galleria
Vittorio Emanuele; in the heart
of the city's elegant financial
and designer shopping district.
Behind the façade of
a discreet 5 floor city town
house, guests arriving at this
Design hotel in Milan find themselves
in a sumptuous lobby with a
red velvet divan swinging above
the reception. Florentine architect
Guido Ciompi, the man responsible
for the design project of this
Design Hotel in Milan, has created
an exclusive atmosphere with
stylish spaces characterised
by subdued tones of beige, orange
and red, underscored with diffused
lighting which bathes the walls,
ceiling to floor drapes and
the black flagstones of the
reception floor in a kaleidoscope
of color.
The interiors of each of the
21 guestrooms in this, one of
Milan's most striking design
hotels, are the perfect expression
of Ciompi's inspirational style,
with clean, geometric lines,
ebony tables, and headboards
upholstered in white or ostrich
leather. This design hotel's
2 bi-level rooms, each with
private steam room, feature
a fabulous filigree steel staircase.
Rooms are all equipped with
the latest in communication
and audiovisual facilities,
including High Speed wireless
internet connectivity, laptop
computers, CD and DVD players
and LCD flat screen televisions.
The hard-working Milanese run
their busy metropolis with efficiency
and aplomb. It is the country's
economic engine room, home to
Italy's stock market and business
centers. This stylish city is
also the world's design and
fashion capital. It is distinctly
sophisticated; shopping, whether
of the window variety or - for
those who can afford it - the
real thing, is of an almost
religious significance. Theater
and cinema flourish in this
fashionable milieu, while top
international artists always
include Milan while on tour.
Food is another one of Milan's
joys, try the exquisite Lombard
dishes such as the famous risottos.
Milan is certainly a Renaissance
city.
