Bulgari Hotel

The interior of this Milanese fashion hotel is a chocolate box of browns, blacks and whites, with an expensive, soft-minimal feel. You’ll never see a loose end or a scuff mark. The hotel has a slightly masculine appeal: it would make the ideal seduction scene for the sort of young man who gets GQ for the girls and the gear, andThe Economist for the gossip.
