The Gray Hotel -Italy Design Hotel – Europe Design Hotels

The Gray Hotel the design hotel of the SINA chain chaired by Bernabò Bocca, opened its doors in May 2003.

The Gray stands out for its international and contemporary character. Perfect for those cosmopolitan types that can find here traces and elements from different cultures, ideal for the young aristocrats looking for the trendiest hotel in town or for the business man that will not go without his comforting luxuries.

The Gray is ideally located right in the heart of Milan, a city that never sleeps. From its privileged position in Via San Raffaele, it is just round the corner from the Duomo and La Scala or even a short walk to the Galleria (Vittorio Emanuele).

Unmistakable is the style that characterises the Hotel: the façade decorated with columns and altorilievi in Liberty style from the beginning of the 18th century. To this has been added a modern wing covered in green diorite and crystals.

From the outside it becomes clear that the hotel has a double identity, divided between history and tradition and the continuous search for new and more contemporary architectures. Inside, though, one can find rooms with fantastic atmosphere, together welcoming and exiting and characterised by a great attention to details.

The hotel, one of the most innovative in the city, is the creation of the architect Guido Ciompi from Florence. His vast experience ranges from interior designing to renovation of private residences to show rooms around some of the most famous streets in Italy and Europe. His idea for the project, the interior and the name was the desire to introduce a new concept in the hospitality world, one that would easily remind of the fashion industry that has made Milan one of its capitals in the world.

Here the design translates into senses and feelings that are meant to shock guests but also to be enjoyed by them. Inside the hotel The Gray one can find hey and led hanging on walls which play colourful tricks on the eye as well as stucco resembling waves towering shelves on which huge mother of pearl shells rest. More surprises are hidden inside niches in the walls containing antique Chinese vases from the end of the 18th century or near the entrance, old evening gowns that belong to famous international stars.

At the bar one can enjoy the famous Mojito made by our barman Pedro Fiol, lounging on soft velvet sofas or sitting at our lamp tables, whilst at the restaurant the tables run on lit up rails, like an amusing game of domino.

It doesn’t go without saying that the hotel The Gray is most of all luxurious and capable of surprising even the most spoilt of customers.
