On Milan's offbeat via Tortona, around the corner from Teatro Armani and the Fondazione Pomodoro, contemporary NHOW sits in the shell of the city's former General Electrics factory. From the polished concrete lobby up to the fourth floor, the hotel is dotted with a rotating selection of artworks and limited edition furniture, all for sale (check www.artnhow.com for an up-to-date, comprehensive guide). Rooms are decked out with Artemide lights and funky printed wallpaper, and showers are colourful. Exhibitionists should book the penthouse apartment, complete with glass-bottomed bathtub that acts as the living room's ceiling.
