The Yard Suite and Dependance is a 24-room intimate boutique uniquely designed with a 30s deco theme. Conveniently located next to a metro station (the center of Milan is 20 minutes away), this artistic hotel has a fascinating collection of objects on display -- chairs at check-in are vintage barber chairs. There is an inviting bar on-site and the stylish lobby has a screen for movie nights. Free Wi-Fi and bike rentals are nice extras, but there's a fee for breakfast and the design may appeal more to younger travelers.
Scene
An intimate, art-forward boutique
The Yard Suite and Dependance wouldn't look out of place in Portland, Oregon. The concept at this boutique is eclectic with a lobby that looks like a cross between a lodge and well-curated flea market. Black and white checkered floors are topped with vintage rugs and fun curios include a Superman statue and vintage busts of half-dressed models. Barber chairs face the reception desk. Each guest room has a sports theme such as boxing or horseback riding, with a design style to match. The cinema room off the lobby shows projector style movies at night.
Location
Within walking distance of the Navigli District, surrounded by shops and restaurants
The hotel isn't located in the center of Milan, but there's a nearby metro station that can get you there in under 20 minutes. The surrounding neighborhood is very hip with Italians and visitors enjoying local shops, nightlife, and restaurants. The historic neighborhood of Navigli with its picturesque canals is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
Rooms
Stylish rooms with individual themes
Soundproof rooms inside this boutique are each individually decorated with a sports theme such as golf, hunting, horseback riding, and rugby. The touchdown suite has vintage football pennants on the wall and red and green plaid wallpaper behind the bed. There are boxing gloves hanging in the gray toned and sophisticated jab dependance suite. Each room has a flat-screen TV with a PlayStation gaming system and Nespresso coffeemaker. Some rooms have semi-private terraces.
Features
Fun features like iPad rentals, a movie projection screen, and free bikes and skateboards
