“In my opinion, this hotel distinguishes itself with its commitment to sustainability, being Milan's first zero-emissions hotel. I also appreciated the rooftop terrace, which not only provided panoramic city views, but also fresh ingredients for the on-site restaurant and bar. I think live music during breakfast and the location in the heart of the Brera district provides a unique Milanese experience.”
