Mandarin Oriental Milan

Those who are familiar with the Mandarin Oriental Milan might be suspicious as to its boutique leanings. Based on name alone you might be under the impression that the Mandarin Oriental is yet another stuffy luxury hotel. It’s true that the Mandarin Oriental is a five star luxury hotel, however this particular Milan branch of the hotel has been designed in a quirky and eccentric style that is sure to appeal to your artistic leanings.

It’s located in one of Milan’s most fashionable streets — Quadrilatero D’oro, which is full of the most charming roadside cafes and boutique shopping outlets imaginable. Even the interiors of the hotel have been designed in an intimate and warm style, in the aesthetic style of a Milanese residence in the 20th century.

The aesthetics of the hotel pays homage to its quirky character. Instead of being fixated on one particular style, the Mandarin Oriental borrows from 20th century Italian influences, Asiatic influences, along with some minimalist features. The walls of the hotel are pastel yellow, and the lobby even features an open fireplace. It truly can’t get any more eccentric than that!
