HIGH FASHION+DESIGN=MAISON MOSCHINO

One of Italy’s most iconic design houses, Moschino, has created the ultimate destination for style savvy globe-trotters. For all fashionistas in need of a reason to visit Milan...your charming, romantic suite at Maison Moschino hotel awaits you!

Moschino has combined two of Clos-ette’s favorite things to shape Maison Moschino: fashion and design. The modern hotel is located in the old neoclassical railway station on Milan's Viale Monte Grappa dating back to 1840. If you haven’t been yet, this four-story building is every stylish traveler’s dream come true - literally. The hotel consists of 65 rooms and 15 suites in addition to a bar, restaurant, gym and spa, with each room’s décor inspired by fairy tales.

Each room and suite is unique, maintaining the common theme of fairy tales, with every room more whimsical than the next.

Expect your room to completely wow you – with side chairs and bedspreads adorned in rose petals that seem to be falling from the light above, beautifully branch-shaped headboards, oversized teacup tables, and delicious pastry inspired pillows.

The imaginative and luxurious theme is carried throughout the hotel. The entrance hall, for example, features a lamp in the shape of one of the label's signature lampshade dresses. At the signature restaurant, “Clandestino Milano” expect eccentric dishes and a dreamlike menu. As Moschino describes it, “the hotel interior reflects Moschino’s distinctive style where the ordinary world is painted with a brush of surrealism.”Moschino is not the only design house branching out into the interior decorating. Diane Von Furstenberg, as Clos-ette told you, is coming out with a home line in addition to redesigning 20 rooms and suites at London’s Claridges hotel. The rooms are set to debut this June and we’re betting on bold colors and vibrant prints!

In addition, Christian Lacroix has graced Paris with his Hotel du Petit Moulin, a former bakery and Hotel Bellchasse. Each hotel is marked by Lacroix’s theatrical style, but maintains an intimate atmosphere.
