The Originals
In the heart of Milan’s historic center, fashion designer Vincenzo de Cotiis transformed a 19th-century palazzo into a destination that is both style- and eco-conscious. The hotel has an ever-growing list of sustainability measures that includes purchasing organic ingredients for the restaurant, using refillable bottles for toiletries, and logically allocating rooms to minimize energy use. STRAF aspires to become a leader in the hospitality industry, working to raise awareness and educate guests on more responsible practices. The hotel is also a principal sponsor of the non-profit association IN-VITA, which works to rebuild wells in rural villages in Mali that have limited access to water. Proceeds from each guest’s stay directly contribute to the project.
