That might be true if you\u2019re staying in any old hotel, but not if you\u2019re staying at one of the TownHouse Street hotels \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.townhouse.it\/thstreetmilanoduomo\/accommodation\" target=\"_blank\">TownHouse Street Duomo<\/a>, if you\u2019re really lucky.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few steps from the famous Duomo Cathedral and the gasp-worthy Galleria, TownHouse Street Duomo still manages to feel like a haven of peace \u2013 right in the heart of the city. It\u2019s a boutique hotel in the most beautiful sense of the word, with clean lines and modernist, fantastic design touches, and a lot of personal attention for the guests in the seven studios. Black and white photographs line the walls as near-life-sized street scenes of Milan, and pops of yellow (the armchair, the fridge, the clothes rack) add a playful touch. It is right in the best part of the city \u2013 across the road from Cioccolat\u2019Italiani (the finest gelato you will ever eat) and 200m from TownHouse 8, where you check in and eat a superb breakfast at the Seven Stars Galleria.<\/p>\n<p>TownHouse Street Duomo is the latest addition to the TownHouse brand, and has only been open since May 2012. All the entrances to the TownHouse hotels are secret and private, and the intention is to make you feel as if you\u2019re at home, not in a hotel (if your home happened to be fabulously stylish, that is). These are not just rooms, they are spaces to live in \u2013 with living rooms and loads of space to unwind in, windows that open out into the city, and a fridge stocked with drinks you can help yourself to without worrying about minibar prices. The concierge is on hand should you need help with anything (travel advice, adapters, bookings) but if you just want to blend into the city, that\u2019s perfectly fine too.<\/p>\n<p>In short, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.townhouse.it\/thstreetmilanoduomo\/accommodation\" target=\"_blank\">TownHouse Street Duomo<\/a> is a hotel built by and for travellers. Which means it\u2019s an absolute joy to stay there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/travelstartstg.wpenginepowered.com\/townhouse-street-duomo-milan\/town_house_duomo_milan-6213\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26593\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26593\" src=\"https:\/\/travelstartmu.wpenginepowered.com\/zablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/10\/Town_House_Duomo_Milan-6213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"347\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few steps from the famous Duomo Cathedral and the gasp-worthy Galleria, TownHouse Street Duomo still manages to feel like a haven of peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":88227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_destination_ratings":[],"_destination_review_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[458,16,445],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-88226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hotels-resorts-travel","category-travel","category-destinations-travel","tag-italy","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
