Room Mate Giulia
Located in Milan’s city centre, and a quick two-minute stride from the Piazza del Duomo, the 85-room Room Mate Giulia is the result of a canny collaboration between Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola and the budget friendly hotel group Room Mate. The prices might be economic, but the finishings are definitely top-rate, with most of the furnishings designed by Urquiola and custom-made by Cassina, where she is creative director. In guestrooms, bold armchairs by Kartell and Moroso sit alongside lamps by Flos and Oluce, while grid patterned Kvadrat curtains provide visual texture. Downstairs, an eclectic mishmash of furnishings and colour combinations form the lobby space, which is also lined with artwork by local creatives.
