Hotel Straf - Adjacent to Duomo; Very Hip Place to Be
Hotel Straf is uber modern, so if you don’t like minimlism, this may not be for you. THe service and staff were great. The location (next to the Duomo and the Galleria) was ideal. The hotel bar is a big locals hang out after work, so it stays crowded through at least 10:00 p.m every night. The hotel provides seating for customers to take into the street (it’s a dead end) which is really cool. The music is loud, but if you are staying in the hotel you can’t hear it.

Cool, but not for business
Some of the good things: This is a very cool hotel, modern, clean, interesting. The location couldn’t be better (50m from the duomo). Breakfast is very nice--rather limited selection, but high quality. Attached to the hotel is Bar Straf, offering some of the coolest cocktails (also has a happy hour offering a free buffet with purchase of drinks). On the downside: I went to Milan for business and relied on the fact that Straf advertised it had high-speed internet. Their internet connection is practically useless--every few minutes, the connection winds down or gets interrupted completely--every other email I had to retype. This was the case after a technician worked on my room’s connection and, since that failed, after I switched rooms. Not that all the hassle meant the hotel was willing to charge me a lower (or, heaven forbid, no) rate for the internet use. TVs are somewhat disappointingly old-fashioned (one would expect flat screens to go with the rest of the coolness), and there is a certain boxed-in feeling throughout the hotel. Overall, one of the trendier hotels I’ve stayed at, but not sure it’s worth the money.

Very, Very Cool and Great Location
This hotel could not have been located in a better place. It was literally steps from the Duomo and many other attractions. The modern look and feel of the hotel was very cool and a nice change of pace from the usual decor of Italian hotels. I would definitely stay here again if back in Milan.
Traveler's tip on dining
Look for the small restaurants on the side streets. The places inside the main shopping area are not very good.
