In 1840, a neoclassical railway station opened in central Milan. It operated the Milan-Monza route, the second-oldest railway in Italy, and it was one of the city’s most beautiful buildings.
Today, the exterior façade of Viale Monte Grappa 12 is a reminder of the station’s original grandeur. But inside, where once handkerchiefs were waved at lovers disappearing in the distance, a new world has been brought to life.
True to the essence of the Moschino brand, they completely reinterpreted the building, adding 65 contemporary hotel rooms and junior suites inspired by a visionary and contemporary fairy tale theme. Like; Alice’s Room, Life is a Bed of Roses, Luxurious Attic, The Forest, Sweet Room, Little Red Riding Hood and many more. Spread out across four floors, the rooms are sensuous visions of surreal diversity. Entering the Maison Moschino is like falling down the rabbit hole: after a while, you come to expect the unexpected.
Highly imaginative and eccentric, they created the spaces to inspire the mind while the body relaxes – because to sleep is perchance to dream. The hotel features several luxurious amenities supporting the surreal Moschino theme: the imaginative menu served in their “Clandestino Milano” restaurant, the dreamlike drinks welcoming you in their exquisite ground floor bar, and the elysian atmosphere of their Culti Spa.
The cost of the fabulous suites are approximately € 500, - per night for two adults.
