Hotel Calimala Milano

The Hotel Calimala Milano is one of those hotels that effortlessly convey Milan’s flair for design. As soon as you step inside, your eye is drawn to the black stone floors, which lend the public areas a distinctive sense of depth and, together with dark wood, brass details and bespoke furniture, create an atmosphere more reminiscent of an elegant Milanese flat than a classic city hotel. The design is modern, urban and consistently executed, yet remains pleasantly homely. The rooms also reflect this style, combining high-quality materials with a sense of tranquillity right in the heart of the city. The true centrepiece of the hotel is on the roof. Here you’ll find the pool, the terrace and the restaurant, offering views over the rooftops of Porta Venezia. During the day, guests are drawn upstairs to swim and sunbathe; in the evening, the roof terrace becomes a popular meeting place for an aperitivo or a late dinner. The location perfectly complements the hotel’s character. Around Porta Venezia you’ll find some of Milan’s most exciting cafés, bars, galleries and shops, much of which can be explored on foot. The Calimala Milano combines the city’s energy with a distinct design identity and is one of those places that demonstrate just how well modern hotel design can work in Milan. The dark stone floors, the rooftop pool and the consistently harmonious design are particularly memorable.
