"Attractively located close to Milan Central Station, Duo Milan Porta Nuova, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel boasts vibrant guestrooms, stylish dining and a bold, dynamic ambience throughout."

Located in the ever-trendy district that shares its name, Duo Milan Porta Nuova, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is a stylish getaway that marks the Portfolio brand’s first foray into Milan. Recent renovations have revitalised the property’s vibrant, dynamic design, and the hotel’s address is hard to beat. The immediate area is supremely walkable, with hundreds of restaurants practically on the hotel’s doorstep and sites like Corso Como and Piazza Gae Aulenti located less than a fifteen-minute walk away. For those eager to see more of the city, the hotel’s close proximity to Milan Central Station makes exploring further afield a breeze.

Duo Milan Porta Nuova was built in the mid-1900’s, and the hotel’s interior design scheme is an ode to the evolution of the district. A jewel-toned lobby sets the stage with tufted tangerine couches, teal armchairs and gilded accents beneath circular hanging light fixtures, and guest rooms – of which there are 239 in all – continue the colourful ambience. Within, the spaces seamlessly blend both mid-century and contemporary influences, resulting in handsome, vibrant spaces with a touch of whimsical flair. Vintage details hearken back to Porta Nuova’s historic railway stations, while crips lines and colour block rugs keep the spaces feeling firmly rooted in the 21st century. White-tiled bathrooms also call to mind images of metro stations, as do the framed prints that are carefully offset above the beds. To elevate your stay, book one of the hotel’s snazzy suites, which feel more like artsy Italian pied-à-terres than your average hotel rooms.

Duo Café is the only eatery at the hotel, though its multiple areas – an indoor dining room, bar area and cheerful outdoor terrace – allow some welcome change in scenery from one meal to the next. There, guests will find creative, globally inspired dishes, regional Italian specialities and drinks of all sorts, whether that means a latte or fresh pressed juice in the morning or a tasty signature cocktail at day’s end. Be sure not to miss the Milanese aperitivo tradition, which is hosted each day at 5 PM.

While there’s no spa on-site, the hotel does have a comprehensive fitness centre that boasts a good assortment of gear and a design scheme that echoes the rest of the hotel.
