"The Straf is one of the new breed of high-design hotels to have recently opened in downtown Milan." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Students of contemporary design especially love the industrial cool zeitgeist of this hotel less than a block from the duomo." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Behind the 1883 Neo-Classic façade, the Straf has an ultra-modern interior. Luxurious natural materials set the minimal design tone."

Afar Magazine "Don’t be fooled by the slightly traditional stone facade; behind it lies one of Italy’s most avant-garde hotels." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A minimalist, installation-inspired design hotel for the style-conscious, all oxidised copper and burnished brass." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "An unassuming exterior hides the edgy, yet elegant interior of Straf Hotel & Bar, a style-savvy boutique in Milan that is filled with art." Full review
Star Service "Maintenance too gets high marks, though uninitiated travelers are apt to question some of the raw, unpainted surfaces—don't worry, it's intentional." Full review

Condé Nast Traveler82.0

Time Out "At the end of a private road behind the Pinacoteca di Brera's botanic gardens, the Bulgari oozes the same exclusivity and class as the brand's fine jewellery." Full review
Star Service "In a surprisingly secluded location tucked away in the center of bustling Milan, set on a private gated side street behind the Grand Hotel et de Milan, and ideally situated for shoppers and sightseers." Full review
