ROOMS & SUITES
Blending recycled materials into new surroundings in a concept that shakes up the interior of a 19th century Milan palazzo, architect and artist Vincenzo de Cotiis has achieved his goal of creating a visually striking alternative to standard hotel room design. The Milan architect uses bare cement for floors as well as oxidized brass and split slate in his room interiors. Seven of the 64 rooms include a massaging armchair, and in five rooms de Cotiis has designed a so-called“ well-being” corner— here guests can unwind in style but without technological mod cons to disturb them. All rooms offer tactile pleasures in fine textiles, decadent bathrooms, and mirrored surfaces.
