Located in Milan’s dynamic Porta Nuova business district and facing the leafy Parco Biblioteca degli Alberi, Milano Verticale | UNA Esperienze offers a modern, design-led option for visitors seeking style and calm in the city. The four-star property blends local materials and artwork with contemporary lines, and proved a welcome respite during a mid-June heatwave when temperatures climbed to about 35°C.
Where design meets respite
The hotel’s exterior and interiors reference Milanese architecture, finished in Lombardy stone and marble and punctuated by local art. Inside, a quietly elegant hidden garden sits at the hotel’s core, providing a tranquil counterpoint to the surrounding commercial bustle.
