Wishing to be anything but gray, this hotel near the Milan Cathedral masterfully plays with colors and styles. Art Deco friezes, columns, and high reliefs decorate the exterior of the building, while dark wooden floors and colorful seating elements immediately catch the eye in the contemporary interior. The bar, with its glowing tables, and the 21 rooms have a similar feel: Dark-grained precious wood contrasts with zebra prints, red chairs, and a lot of white.
