What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
an ecological and sustainable approach: a flow of simple lines and natural textures, flowery walls and bay windows, in spaces where daylight provides most of the guests' lighting needs.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Milano Centrale station is a two-minute walk away, putting high-speed cross-country rail and metro lines at the doorstep.
The rooms
FSC-certified timber furnishings and smart domotic energy controls shape quiet, low-impact bedrooms above the central station district.
The gym
Top-floor cardio machines face floor-to-ceiling windows and open onto a rooftop terrace overlooking the city skyline.
Dogs stay too.

Dishes highlight Italian Slow Food ingredients beneath backlit botanical murals. Outside, drinks are poured on the terrace under sculpted metal trees.

The former Starhotels Splendido was rebuilt in 2011 under an eco-conscious overhaul by designer Andrea Auletta.
