Boutique hotel brand, Hotel Indigo®, opens its third hotel in Italy in the bustling city of Milan. Hotel Indigo® Milan - Corso Monforte, is centrally located close to the notable fashion district - the perfect location for those looking to explore one of the world's fashion capitals.

Milan is the birthplace of some of the world's most recognised high-end fashion designers including Prada, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana. Fashion has played a huge part in Milanese culture for the best part of three centuries, ever since the city's first fashion houses set up shop here in the 18th century.

Hotel Indigo properties offer a gateway to discover some of the world's most inspiring neighbourhoods and locations. Each hotel brings the outside in; drawing from the local area to inspire every aspect of each hotel, from intriguing design to locally inspired menus.

Hotel Indigo® Milan - Corso Monforte takes inspiration from the surrounding neighbourhood, mixing elements from 1950's Italian vintage fashion with contemporary cues intrinsically weaved into one seamless interior design theme of fashion through the ages. Throughout the hotel's 75 rooms, bold prints and colour splash the walls and feature artwork and sketches from Biki, one of the most notable names of the Milan fashion scene in the 30s, 40s and 50s. Opening her first atelier (studio) in 1934 in Milan, Biki paved the way in the development of prét-a-porte fashion (ready-to wear). Her style was typically classic Italian, specially made for the Milanese 'vita' - the high life. Throughout the hotel you can see nods to this through elements such as the large vintage leather-bound classic trunks embossed with the hotel's initials.

From 'hat box' bedside tables, bowler hat lamps and sewing machines desks, the hotel boasts unique design features that are recognisable to the fashion connoisseur whilst ensuring they blend with the building's original architecture. Throughout the historic palace, intricately detailed classically coffered ceilings and panelled walls can be seen, lending to the classical era of the hotel. Large arches dominate throughout and surround the interior courtyard, making it the perfect place for an afternoon coffee or drink.
