E.c.ho.
Eco-contemporary. Clean lines, natural textures, warm wood tones, large windows and bay windows designed to maximise daylight. Quiet and efficient without being cold.
Superior rooms start at 18 sqm — perfectly functional but genuinely compact; upgrade to a Deluxe or Junior Suite if you're staying more than one night
Why It Matters
One of the first eco-sustainability-focused hotels in Milan, now holding GSTC sustainability certification alongside Green Globe and Beyond Green designations. Rooms use recycled-material beds, certified fabrics, and energy-efficient systems throughout. The restaurant sources from Slow Food producers like La Granda Piedmontese beef and Antica Ardenga cured meats.
The E.c.ho. stands for Ecological Contemporary Hotel, and the name really means it. This 4-star property 100 metres from Milano Centrale was one of Milan's first hotels built from the ground up around sustainability — think solar-powered low-consumption lighting, FSC-certified wood beds, grey water recovery for flushing, and smart climate control that adjusts when windows open. The result is calm, light-filled rooms in warm natural tones that feel less like a business hotel and more like a considered place to stay. No pool, no spa — but the location, the organic restaurant, and the green credentials make up for it.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe
Fresh, contemporary design with more breathing room than the Superior. Some Deluxe rooms have a balcony — worth requesting. The bump up in size from the Superior is noticeable.
23 sqmDeluxe View
Same footprint as the Deluxe but positioned for city or skyline views. Good option if you want natural light and a view without going up to suite level.
23 sqmDeluxe View with Terrace
A Deluxe room with a private terrace and views — strong value if available. Private outdoor space in central Milan at a non-suite rate is genuinely unusual.
23 sqm
Family Room
Two connecting rooms configured for families, sleeping up to 4 guests. Includes the Very Important Kids (VIK) service. Children under 16 stay free when the room rate includes adult breakfast, under the Family Program.
Junior Suite
A proper step up in space — 26-30 sqm with a separate seating area. Much more comfortable for multi-night stays. Warm, natural interiors with all the eco-certified materials the hotel is known for.
28 sqmPanoramic Junior Suite
Junior Suite with panoramic views of the Milan skyline. Same 26-30 sqm footprint as the standard Junior Suite but positioned high for the views.
28 sqm
Suite
The top room category at 35-38 sqm, with a balcony and views of the Milan skyline. The most spacious and refined option in the hotel, with all eco-sustainability features at their most complete. Minibar, premium bedding, pillow menu.
36 sqm
Superior
The entry-level room and genuinely compact at 18-21 sqm. Clean eco-contemporary design with warm natural colours and certified materials throughout. Good for one night; feels tighter for a longer stay. All standard amenities included.
