An absolutely remarkable eco hotel and restaurant just across from the Milano Centrale train station. Modern, luxury, earthy and serene, you'll feel a sense of ease and lightness of being at the E.c.ho. The lobby, lounge and indoor/outdoor cocktail bar are the perfect areas to relax, meet friends, have an informal business meeting, enjoy a green aperitivo.
General Manager Gigliola Lombardi, who has been with family-owned Starhotels for 30 years, clearly values a heart for hospitality and this is reflected in her dedicated team. You'll enjoy kind, conscientious hospitality during your stay allowing you to relax and kick back even though you are in the middle of bustling Milan.
A final note, the rooms are gorgeous and the beds are heavenly. So if you feel like staying in bed all day and ordering room service, this would also be an excellent idea!
