nhow Milano Hotel (Milan, ITALY)

I thought I had the accommodations for this trip all planned out months ago but a few weeks before we took off for Milan, I got some bad news from Hotel Magna Pars Suites that they had some emergency repairs to take care of. As a result, their premise would be closed during our visit.

So, I had to scramble for an alternative in Navigli but I already had one in mind - nhow Milano.



Nhow hotel is a boutique hotel chain I know fairly well of, from my days in Berlin. I didn't actually stay at one before but I have dined there a couple of times and was always intrigued by its shall-we-say "unusual" design.



In case you're wondering, nhow Hotel is a hipster offshoot from the NH Hotel Group, one of the largest hotel group in Europe with more than 350 hotels worldwide. 



This one in Navigli district of Milan is located in the Tortona design district, about a 10-minute to the grand canal but far off from the touristic Duomo area. So, if you're looking for a quiet place to stay and don't mind all the traveling back and forth, this might be the perfect choice for you.



While the hotel lobby is light-flooded and inviting, the same cannot be said about the hotel corridors. It's really dark once we stepped out of the elevator and for a moment, we thought we were inside a museum~!



There were also these weird-looking metal pillars everywhere.



The rooms were fine if you're into designs of love hotels. 



Again there's not enough natural light around but we just told ourselves that's romantic.



Not the most comfortable bed in the world.



Thankfully, there's sufficient light (and space) in the bathroom so we won't be tripping over anything like we did in the bedroom.



It's not the most comfortable stay we had on this trip.
