Within walking distance of the Certosa Railway Station, where trains take you quickly to Milan's downtown, voco (an upscale sub-brand of InterContinental Hotels Group) runs a hotel like no other.
If pressed to describe the voco Milan in two words, it would be innovative & brave! The hotel's modern and unassuming exterior hides a contemporary interior that gets wilder the deeper you go.
This four-star hotel is the brainchild of the internationally renowned architect Simone Micheli (who was also behind the i-Suite project in Rimini) to showcase the central elements of avant-garde design: creativity, natural materials, and state-of-the-art technology.
Micheli's goal was to redefine the meaning of a business hotel and to make every associated stereotype obsolete.

He worked his way from the architect Giancarlo Marzorati-designed exterior to match the interior and make it iconic and super functional.
The integration of color, comfort, and abstract shapes creates a casual atmosphere where you want to unwind after a long day of exploring the city.
As the major cultural center of northern Italy, you can expect to find phenomenal dining options throughout the city.
Still, you don't have to go further than the OnFire - Grill and Lounge to find excellent Italian cuisine.
Once you grab your handcrafted cocktail from the bar, you can play a retro pinball machine or a pool game.
Each of the 280 guestrooms reflects the same innovative hotel design where you can comfortably relax.
The furnishings were carefully chosen to complement the other design elements of the room, including the use of mirrors, lighting, color palette, and artwork.
The contemporary design embodies the city's modern vibe, creating an inviting ambiance of understated sophistication.
When you venture into the city, the Barceló Milan offers a complimentary shuttle to Expo Triulza, Milan Certosa Station, Milan Bovisa, and Lotto, from where you can get anywhere.
The on-site spa offers two types of saunas - Turkish and traditional Finnish, and there is a cold plunge pool.
The indoor pool is decorated with plastic "stalactites" and "stalagmites" painted in bright yellow color. Once the night lights come on, you will be virtually transported to an alien planet. Or at least that's how this place feels.
