The Bar/Lounge at STRAFhotel&bar

"Straf’s cosy lounge bar next door is very popular with the fashion and design set"

"The Straf’s svelte black-clad staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the adjoining Straf Bar is a popular place for fashionistas to stop for a light lunch or an aperitivo"

"Travelers seeking something a bit more luxurious and a quieter atmosphere might want to check out Hotel Milano Scala, which has a cozy bar and lounge as well as a stunning rooftop terrace"

"Rooms are spacious yet discreet, with tailor-made chairs and sofas, bold lighting, and mirrored walls that open to reveal minibars and closets"

"Wellness-themed bedrooms are equipped with aromatherapy goodies and massage armchairs, while the bar features strongly on the radar of the international DJ circuit"

"Design by Vincenzo de Cotiis is both minimal and tied to fashion, with bare-concrete walls and rich chocolate lounge chairs in the lobby"

"The amenities roster boasts the most advanced technology, with expensive high-speed Internet access (wireless is in the public areas and is free of charge), CD players, flat-screen TVs, minibars, computerized thermostats, safes and large closets to stow trunk loads of baggage"
