A boutique hotel among Milan's most exquisite, a bastion of rarefied elegance. Hotel The Gray offers top-notch accommodation that more than matches the Lombard capital's sense of chic and style. What's more, the establishment is only seconds away from the Duomo, La Scala Opera House and the Galeria Vittor Emanuele in the shopping district. The boutique style is prominent in Hotel The Gray, the classical exterior masks the up-to-date interiors: modern colors taking in beige, brown, orange and carefully designed and positioned pieces making the most of the space available. It creates a seamless and brilliant effect where understated creative luxury predominates.

The 21 guest rooms are in 21 different styles, but all bear a certain resemblance, with ebony wood furniture and ivory-colored fabrics and leather. Two of the suites (Gray 2 Fitness Room) have private workout rooms, and two others have steam rooms. Flat-screen TVs are standard, and there is wireless internet access all around, fitting for this most businesslike of Italian cities.

As well as elegant and welcoming public areas, the property features a bar and a stylish restaurant. 'Il Bar' is made of attractive white glass, and contrasts with the all-black restaurant upstairs. 'Le Noir' features tables of black lacquer and black velvet upholstery.

Hotel The Gray is in the heart of Milan, very close to the Duomo, the Scala and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, an important meeting point, with its elegant shops, coffee and tea houses.
