When a hotel is set in the heart of Florence\u2019s fashion and design district, you know it\u2019s going to be a beautiful one. Designed by\u00a0studioDO architect David Ohayon in collaboration with Carmel Ilan &\u00a0Matteo Baroni, the Milu Hotel fuses classic Italian hospitality with modern design and a playful, minimalist aesthetic.

The exterior of the Milu Hotel has seen a lot of history. Originally, the property, or rather, cluster of properties, belonged to the elite Florentine aristocratic in the year 1400 and is named Palazzo Altoviti-Sangalletti after an heir of the Altoviti and Sangalletti families. In 1835, the building was renovated by artist and architect Giovan Battista Silvestri who joined the Palazzo Altoviti-Sangalletti with the adjacent Palazzo Gerard-Uguccioni. Large stone slabs and symmetrical arched windows define the exteriors of the hotel.<\/p>\n

All the art in the hotel was\u00a0carefully selected by the hotel\u2019s curatorial team. For the hotel\u2019s opening exhibition, the walls are adorned with artworks from artists like Maya Gelfner, Galia Gur Ziv, and Carmel Ilan. This video installation by Ronen Sharabaniis currently displayed in the Open Gallery, an ever-changing exhibition space on the hotel\u2019s second floor featuring international artists of various specialities, including sculpture, space installation, drawing, video and photography. You can even purchase pieces on display to take a little bit of Florence back home with you.<\/p>\n

No details were left unconsidered at the Milu Hotel. Bold, colorful Missoni pillows complement white linens on the beds. Gubi seats give you a place to rest for a moment. Venetian gold, Murano glass, and Italian black marble pay homage to that luxe, classical Italian design.<\/p>\n
