Not far from Milan’s contemporary Porta Nuova neighborhood, Starhotels E.c.ho. (where E.c.ho. stands for Ecological Contemporary Hotel) sits at the confluence of urban cool and contemporary eco-friendliness and awareness. Taking its foundation ethos of sustainability beyond thoughtfully selected furnishings and interior design materials, the hotel was built in its specific location to help guests engage in the urban landscape in an environmentally friendly way thanks to its setting mere steps from low-carbon rail and public transportation and within walking distance to some of Italy’s fashion capital’s best landmarks, sights, and attractions. Other amenities include an elegant restaurant, vibrant bar, and fitness center with skyline views.
