Hotel La Residenza Milan is an upper-middle-range, eco-friendly property in a more residential area of Milan. The hotel is certainly progressive with its overall green theme, but it fails to have the clean lines and general contemporary look that usually accompanies these kinds of venues. This Ecoworldhotel-approved spot is a bit out of the way, but is within walking distance to a metro station that can take guests all over Milan. There’s also a large park across the street that's perfect for relaxing. The rooms are rather small, but are modern, comfortable, and minimal. The hotel’s restaurant and bar follow the same overall eco-friendly standards.

Scene
Eco-friendly hotel that lacks space and comfort in lobby
Being an eco-friendly property, the decor at La Residenza is minimal compared to the borderline gaudy style of other hotels nearby. Although low on space and grandeur, La Residenza understands what kind of clientele would enjoy their type of hospitality and maximizes its efforts to make guests feel welcome. Still, the lobby is quite drab and reminiscent of a hostel, with distasteful signage and not much of an area to relax and enjoy the hotel itself. Some of the chairs are made out of cardboard -- an interesting touch. This venue isn’t geared toward business travelers or even families, but instead is better suited for young people who are in Milan and want a relaxed atmosphere to call home for a few days.
Location
At northern outskirts of Milan near a large park and metro stop
La Residenza is located in the Niguarda district, which sits on the northern outskirts of Milan. The hotel is within walking distance of the M-3 metro line, which can take guests directly to the city center and other major attractions. Parco Nord Milano, a rather large park, sits right across the street and is perfect for relaxing and picnicking. Getting to Linate Airport requires almost a 30-minute drive while Malpensa International Airport is about a 40-minute drive northwest.
Rooms
Modern, small rooms with the basic amenities
The 60 guest rooms at Hotel La Residenza Milan don’t have a tremendous amount of character perhaps due to the property’s underlying mission. The hotel aims to be as ecologically friendly as possible, leaving the relatively small rooms with minimal motifs and basic necessities, though the Feng Shui room does have a distinctive decor that includes an innovative bed platform. Outfitted with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, these utilitarian units are generally made for sleeping, not relaxing during the day or lounging. The bathrooms are bright and clean with environmentally conscious amenities. Some rooms overlook the nearby park.
Features
Eco-friendly amenities and free breakfast as well as free gym usage
La Residenza prides itself on being as green as possible. The venue is recognized as an Ecoworldhotel-approved venue and is designed to provide comfort while also respecting the environment. La Residenza has a relaxing garden and the indoor common areas, which feature a fireplace, are reputedly purified with ionized air. The hotel regulates water flow and uses low-consumption light bulbs as well as recycled paper. There is a parking garage that can be used for a fee, a nearby gym that the hotel has partnered with for free guest usage, a laundry room, and a bar, restaurant, and wine room. La Residenza also has free daily breakfast, and small pets are allowed for no added charge.
