Located in the heart of Milan’s up-and-coming neighbourhood,
Porto Volta, the 124-room Hotel Viu Milan is nestled between
the financial and historic districts, which inspired the interiors of
bronze, wood panelling of walnut, oak, marble and sandstone.
Aside from Michelin-star restaurants, authentic Italian furnishing
and a 100sqm suite helmed by award-winning designer Nicola
Gallizia, the property also claims to be the only hotel in the city
with a 360-degree view and an outdoor swimming pool where
sunset yoga sessions are held.
