Michelin Guide "One of the most stylish and elegant in the city."
Concierge "The net result is playfully chic rather than chaotic, so it's no surprise the Gray kicked off the Milanese trend for high-concept design-centric hotels."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"This is a hotel designed with a sense of playfulness, which is more than you can say for the decidedly 'cool' staff." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Design students can take several lessons at this unique boutique hotel by Florentine architect Guido Ciompi just north of the duomo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Each room at The Gray has completely different decor, layout and focus, such as split levels, fitness facilities or a steam room."
Time Out "Despite the name (chosen by architect Guido Ciompi), little is half-tone here: the dominant colour scheme backs neutral colours with splashes of electrifying vibrancy." Full review
BlackBook "Many of the new designer-backed hotels attempt to reclaim the torch in the race for frontrunner of Milanese modernism, but few can surpass The Gray."
Afar Magazine "Just steps from Milan’s world-famous Duomo, the Gray offers 21 rooms designed by Guido Ciompi, the man behind Gucci boutiques worldwide." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "With minimal style and a smack-in-the-center location, the Gray hotel is a glossy Milan bolthole near the Duomo, La Scala and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele." Full review
Star Service "Located 70 meters from the daunting Duomo, on the same tiny, evocative street as the full-sized Grand Hotel Duomo, this property is one of the best design hotels in the city." Full review

Michelin Guide "A small, cosy hotel, simple and elegant in style."
Concierge "Good-value accommodation has always been a problem in Italy's most ostentatiously wealthy city... Which is why this upmarket guesthouse... is often booked solid."
Lonely Planet "What it does have is lots of character in its 14 individually decorated, flower-filled rooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The fact that this guest house near Cairoli castle is so bereft of signs or lights outside the 18th-century building can be taken as evidence of a different approach to accommodations." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A peaceful and pleasant inn in a pedestrian area near La Scala, Piazza del Duomo, the Castello Sforzesco and the shops."
Rough Guide "Tucked away between the Duomo and the castle, this quietly elegant locanda offers individually decorated rooms; two even have their own roof terraces."
BlackBook "Antica Locanda Dei Mercanti is packed with common day conveniences, yet carries a tranquil tone."
The Telegraph8.0
"Opt for a terraced room; they have private garden terraces where breakfast can be served on request." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This understated and discreet hotel sprawls across three floors of an 18th-century palazzo"

Frommer's "Elegant, light-filled MilanoSuites, set in a charming 18th-century townhouse...parquet floors and sleek white furnishings add a note of glamour to the one- and two-bedroom suites." Full review
