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."
