As a guest of Hotel Milu you’re literally steps away from the top restaurants, bars, cafes, art galleries and museums. Rigth in the heart of Florence on the luxury brand filled Via de Tornabuoni with the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral just 450-meters away.
The hotel serves as an art gallery promoting the work of independant artists. The art can be seen throughout the hotel on the staircases, the guests floors and even leads all the way through to the Library on the top level. The artworks on display are carefully selected from a curated collection that decorate each space. The artists all work within various mediums such as sculpture, space installation, drawing, video and photography. Purchasable by hotel guests and visitors to the property.
I stayed in the deluxe balcony room which is a great option, located on the 5th floor of the hotel with a large terrace overlooking the classic and luxurious landscape of Via Tornabuoni. This contemporary room is immaculately designed and well equipped with high-quality pampering accessories, air conditioning and heating settings with Egyptian cotton linens, modern art-deco bathroom with a rain shower.
I had a coffee with the hotels Co-owner and General Manager, Ido Gelber and asked him:
What inspired Hotel Milu?
IG: Milu came with the idea to create something different. A new type of hospitality and luxury. A place that will make the guest feel at home with some extra pampering from our team. I feel that together as a dedicated team we have achieved that.
What makes the hotel different from the competition in Florence?
IG: The atmosphere, which is something our guests regularly comment on.
What hotels inspire you?
IG: There are many, Poli House in Tel Aviv as it is a cool, chic boutique with many personal touchs. ME in London for the amazing rooftop bar and Hotel Neruda in Prague for being so cool.
What should every guest of Hotel Milu do when they are in Florence?
IG: Eat dinner at “La Cucina del Garga”, Walk inside the Vasari corridor (the secret corridor connects Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti)
Travel in the Mercato Centrale and finish it in a wine tasting.
