EcoHotel La Residenza Milano (Eco Hotel Milano), Milan

The EcoHotel La Residenza Milano, now known as the Eco Hotel Milano, is a comfortable 3-star hotel located at Via Vittorio Scialoia 3 in the quiet north of Milan. This family-run hotel is regarded as one of the most sustainable hotels in Italy and has been committed to a consistent eco-friendly approach for many years. It combines eco-conscious travel with modern comfort and personalised hospitality. Thanks to its proximity to the Affori Centro (M3) metro station, guests can reach Milan Cathedral and the historic centre in around 15 minutes. The hotel is particularly well-suited to eco-conscious business travellers, families and city breakers who value sustainability.

The hotel features 60 comfortable rooms as well as several apartments, all designed using natural materials and a health-conscious living concept. Guests can choose from Green single rooms, Green double and twin rooms, family rooms, Dependance rooms and the exclusive Feng Shui Suite. The rooms feature allergy-friendly materials, eco-friendly paints, mineral-based wall coatings and environmentally friendly parquet flooring. Amenities include individually controlled air conditioning, free high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a safe, a desk and modern bathrooms with a shower, hairdryer and high-quality toiletries. The Feng Shui Suite has been designed according to the principles of this Asian philosophy of harmony and, with its unique interior design, offers an exceptionally relaxing atmosphere.

A centrepiece of the hotel is its in-house restaurant ‘BioRiso & Cicoria’, which specialises in organic and regional cuisine. Over 90 per cent of the ingredients used come from certified organic farming, with many products sourced from regional producers. The menu features classic Lombard specialities, creative vegetarian and vegan dishes, as well as seasonal menus. The restaurant is particularly renowned for its wide variety of risotto dishes. Guests with special dietary requirements also benefit from an extensive range of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan dishes. The dining experience is complemented by the cosy BiologicBar, which serves exclusively organic drinks, speciality coffees, wines and light snacks.

Every morning, guests can enjoy a generous BioColazione, a lavish breakfast buffet featuring organic produce. On offer are fresh baked goods, homemade cakes, organic jams, honey, muesli, fresh fruit, cheese and cold meat specialities, egg dishes and plant-based alternatives. Gluten-free products are also available on request. The breakfast underlines the hotel’s sustainable philosophy and places particular emphasis on quality, regional produce and freshness.

The hotel impresses with a wide range of services. These include a 24-hour reception, concierge service, free Wi-Fi throughout the building, luggage storage, laundry service, room service, airport transfers on request and a private car park. Pets are welcome, and the entire hotel is a non-smoking hotel. A peaceful garden with a terrace offers guests the chance to relax after an eventful day. In addition, accessible rooms and lifts are available.

Particularly noteworthy is the hotel’s comprehensive sustainability concept. The Eco Hotel uses 100% green electricity, energy-efficient lighting, water-saving systems and consistent waste separation. The furnishings consist mainly of FSC-certified wood, natural fabrics and recyclable materials. Cleaning and care products are environmentally friendly, and the restaurant also prioritises regional supply chains and short transport routes. The hotel has received numerous awards for this commitment and is one of the few hotels in Italy to hold a particularly high level of environmental certification.

The hotel’s location offers a pleasant alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The Affori Centro metro station is only about 300 metres away and connects the hotel directly to Milan Cathedral, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Teatro alla Scala and the main railway station, Milano Centrale. Also within easy reach are the Niguarda Hospital, the Galeazzi Hospital, the University of Bovisa and the exhibition centres. For guests travelling by car, access to the motorways towards Como, Turin and Malpensa Airport is particularly convenient.

The public areas reflect the hotel’s philosophy. Warm wood tones, plenty of plants, natural colours and light-filled rooms create a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The cosy lobby, the sunny outdoor terrace and the well-tended garden give the impression of a small country hotel rather than a city hotel. The personal, family-style service provided by the owners and the dedicated staff is regularly highlighted by guests as a particular highlight.

Conclusion:

The EcoHotel La Residenza Milano (Eco Hotel Milano) is far more than a traditional city hotel. It combines sustainable hospitality, organic cuisine and modern comfort in a well-thought-out overall concept. The comfortable rooms, the excellent restaurant BioRiso & Cicoria, the high-quality organic breakfast and the consistently implemented environmental philosophy make the hotel an outstanding choice for travellers who wish to experience Milan in a sustainable way. The quiet location with direct metro links, as well as the personalised service, round off the overall picture and make the EcoHotel one of the most exceptional and environmentally friendly places to stay in the city.
