STRAF, Milan, a Member of Design Hotels
Milan, Lombardy, Italy
An art project turned hotel, the STRAF is a bold fusion of minimalist design and avant-garde aesthetics, located steps from Milan's Duomo. Crafted by architect and artist Vincenzo De Cotiis, it occupies an 18th-century palazzo reimagined through a contemporary lens. The interiors showcase unconventional materials and recycled objects, reflecting an eco-conscious ethos and creating a living art installation.
Ideal for art enthusiasts and design aficionados, the STRAF offers a thematic stay close to Milan's Fashion Quadrilateral and cultural landmarks.
Rooms and suites
STRAFhotel&bar offers 64 zen-inspired rooms and suites, each designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis. The accommodations showcase bold, elemental design with recycled materials and bespoke furnishings. Guests choose from the minimalist chic of the Standard Double Art Space to the expansive WOW Terrace Suite with panoramic views of the Duomo—many with private terraces. The artistic design of the rooms creates a peaceful retreat within electric Milan.
