Nhow hotel Milan

Milan

There never seem to be enough adjectives to describe Italy, its musical language, its gentle, almost unnerving way of life, its incredible charm, somewhere between visible ancestral traditions and its impertinent focus on the future. Italy is a land of seduction, an idyllic land, and all the clichés one hears can be checked out and proven in person.

Plentiful and passionate, Italy is certainly one of the most magnificent of European destinations. Who has never dreamed of discovering the secrets of Venice…or strolling through Florence…or spending an eternity in Rome…or of settling in the hills of Tuscany? Oddly enough, the city of Milan is rarely mentioned while enumerating the myriad places in Italy everyone dreams of. And yet, although this metropolis of four million inhabitants and the financial center of the country is less reputed as a tourist destination, Milan has a number of sites worth visiting and a charm all its own. Since it’s one of the world’s most important high fashion and design centers, it is often reduced to a shopping paradise and a city of catwalks. Milan however, is a different, less traditional and more modern kind of Italy. It’s a dynamic, bustling city that one has to learn to appreciate before becoming an unconditional fan.

A design hotel with a touch of madness

Milan has often been criticized for being a city with very few interesting hotels. Things however, are changing. Among the newcomers that have turned things around is the Nhow Hotel, which stands out though its inventiveness and it graphic design. Located in the very trendy Tortona quarter, the center for fashion and design, the building actually goes back to 1935. This former electricity factory has been reconverted into a temple of design and modern technology. The Nhow, one of the Espagnol NH group’s leading hotels, is totally trendy and contemporary, and its fluid design is one of the most successful of its kind. Created by the renowned Italian architect and designer, Matteo Thun, the Nhow is a defender of livable design. All the excesses are therefore carefully thought out and intentional, with the goal of combining aesthetic extravagance with modern comfort. Cleverly furnished, the Nhow can create a desire to possess the furniture in the rooms. This in fact, is possible, and the staff is only too happy to direct guests to the appropriate boutiques, most of which are not far from the hotel!

The rooms are designed in a minimalist spirit and with a search for harmony, which might appear austere were it not for the surprises guests discover, like the transparent bathtubs and liquid, cascading ceilings. The Nhow is a truly unique experience; a fabulous combination of humor and glamour, Italian style.

The Nhow often hosts art exhibits, fashion shows, concerts and even some unforgettable parties! All of Milan has flipped over this elegant and totally original hotel!
