Milan is one of the world’s most prominent fashion capitals, so it only makes sense that the city is home to a bevy of hotels as stylish as their hometown. Consequently, picking a place to stay here is no easy feat, but the chic Hotel Quark Milano is a favorite as it strikes the perfect balance between being family-friendly and super eye-catching. Keep reading for our full review.
The Look of Hotel Quark Milano
Last year, the property revealed a fresh new look following a 2.5-year multimillion-dollar renovation — and the results are spectacular. Designed by Italian architecture firm CaberlonCaroppi, the interiors feature lots of natural materials, geometric shapes, and bold colors that all add up to one striking, modern vibe. The lobby, for instance, boasts multicolored seating, patterned accent walls and wallpapers, lush plants, and an eye-catching check-in desk with geometric cutouts. The adjacent lobby bar serves as the beating heart of the hotel and has a similar look and feel, with tons of natural light pouring in thanks to expansive windows. The colorful, cheery aesthetic bleeds into the spacious 283 rooms and suites (all starting at 301 square feet), which feature colorful accent walls and geometric-inspired headboards. The private balconies are icing on the cake.
