Hotel VIU Milan, a Member of Design Hotels is a 5-star design hotel in the Isola-Porta Garibaldi district of Milan, featuring a panoramic rooftop pool with 360° views over the city.
The property, designed by Nicola Gallizia and built with eco-friendly materials, is intended for those seeking a stay centred on contemporary aesthetics and relaxation: besides the pool, it offers a wellness centre with sauna, a fitness centre and the Mixology Bar for an evening drink. The in-house restaurant, led by a Michelin-starred chef, serves Lombard specialities and international dishes.
The rooms, from the Superior rooms to the larger suites, all share designer furniture, marble bathrooms with high-end amenity sets, flat-screen TVs and free WiFi; some categories add a bathtub, balcony or private terrace.
The location makes it possible to reach Piazza Gae Aulenti and Corso Como on foot in about ten minutes, while Monumentale metro station is just 200 metres away, convenient for getting to the Duomo or Parco Sempione.
Accommodation at Hotel VIU Milan ranges from the 26 m² Superior Double Room to the monumental 110 m² Presidential Suite, taking in Deluxe rooms, Junior Suites and Suites with balconies or private terraces along the way.
