Lonely Planet "Too cool for anything much, let alone school, this ultra-designer address is a shout from the Duomo." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Students of contemporary design especially love the industrial cool zeitgeist of this hotel less than a block from the duomo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Behind the 1883 Neo-Classic façade, the Straf has an ultra-modern interior. Luxurious natural materials set the minimal design tone."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"The Zen-inspired Straf—slang for St. Rafael, the property’s couldn’t-be-better location in Milan—is about as minimalist as you can get and still have all the comforts of a fine hotel." Full review

"The 64-room, four-pearl Hotel Straf is known for its industrial-chic decor (which might not suit all tastes) and lively bar that attracts guests and locals alike." Full review
Afar Magazine "Don’t be fooled by the slightly traditional stone facade; behind it lies one of Italy’s most avant-garde hotels." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A minimalist, installation-inspired design hotel for the style-conscious, all oxidised copper and burnished brass." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "An unassuming exterior hides the edgy, yet elegant interior of Straf Hotel & Bar, a style-savvy boutique in Milan that is filled with art." Full review
Star Service "Maintenance too gets high marks, though uninitiated travelers are apt to question some of the raw, unpainted surfaces—don't worry, it's intentional." Full review
Time Out "On a side street near the Duomo, the STRAF has a hip, minimalist vibe with dark, moody rooms, and attracts a youngish crowd. Italian designer Vincenzo De Cotiis incorporated non-standard..." Full review

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
