Hotel Overview
Review of Townhouse 31, by The TI Review Team
Designed by Architectural Digest editor Ettore Mocchetti, Town House 31 is a nurturing boutique hotel in Milan, where every whim and need is catered to. The boutique hotel is close to many notable fashion houses, including Prada, Etro and Calvin Klein, and the combination of comfort and design makes it a favourite during fashion and design weeks.
This isn't your typical Milanese boutique hotel - enter through the leafy passageway and you'll stumble into the beautifully designed Garden 31 Winebar, with its tropical courtyard, low tables, cushions and tented pavilion. Town House 31deliberately mixes styles and cultures - the outside area feels vaguely Argentinean, whilst breakfast is served at a long communal table beneath latticed Moroccan windows.
The multicultural attitude of the boutique hotel extends to the 20 rooms, which are full of natural wood tones and Asian and African details.

"A characterful alternative to Milan's homogenous business hotels. This restored 19th-century palazzo on Via Goldoni may have started out life as part of the uber-cool Design Hotels collective but the hotel makes efforts to avoid being merely a fashionista hangout...17 rooms are done out in soothing styles with marble bathrooms and earthy African colours."

Review of Townhouse 31, by Ken Scrudato
Townhouse 31 is Milan's cool new little haven of boutique hotel serenity, the perfect alternative to the capital-of-style's overpriced palaces and banal corporate hotels. In a residential neighborhood, away from the city center, a pebbled courtyard leads you into a calming interior space, which has the feel of the private home of your favorite Zen-master.
A communal breakfast table affords you the opportunity to share your deepest feelings with your fellow guests. The 20 rooms are done up in soothing colors, mutli-culti bric-a-brac, and feature genuine marble bathrooms.
