Maison Moschino
The hotel is located in the old neoclassical railway station on Viale Monte Grappa, 12, that opened in 1840 for the Milan-Monza route. The hotel’s creative direction is led by Rossella Jardini and Moschino’s creative team.
The exterior facades were restructured to be faithful to the original structure, while the interior was completely interpreted in the Moschino style. Divided into four floors, the 65 rooms and junior suites are all different. On the ground floor, the hall and the bar welcome guests into the hotel.
The common thread connecting the rooms is a fairy tale theme. Whimsical and magical elements reminiscent of Enchanted Forests and children's favorites like Alice In Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood and Candyland are the themes of some of the rooms.
The hotel interior, lobby and restaurant reflect Moschino’s distinctive style where the ordinary world is painted with a brush of surrealism.
The hotel also has a restaurant and a spa. The restaurant Clandestino Milano extends from the hall to the terrace, the Culti spa and the gym are located on the lower levels.
The restaurant menu proposes a selection of innovative dishes starting from breakfast: the delicious “Mos kit”, for instance, represents a culinary itinerary. It is offered in a choice of 4, 6 or 8 combination and served in a precious box that humorously reminds of an elegant shoe box. “Mos kit” changes every day according to the seasons and to our chef’s different inspirations.
Irony is the theme that inspires Maison Moschino’s lunch menu and its aperitif, served as a toothbrush with an edible mint and coconut toothpaste and a saké and mint flavored “mouthwash”.
Maison Moschino is centrally located and within easy reach of the transport system. You can get to the nearest underground station, Porta Garibaldi (green line), in just five minutes by foot.

Veuve Clicquot’s Newest Collaborations
The Tasting Gloriette by Fernando & Humberto Campana
The structure is a contemporary version of a gloriette for the residence’s garden that is dedicated to outdoor tasting and champagne degustation. It is intended to celebrate the art of playful conversation and the enjoyment of good food and drink. It will stand in the Hôtel du Marc 19th Century garden.
As a continuing evolution of its relationship with innovative design, Veuve Clicquot unveiled its latest collaboration with Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana, as well as with French designer Mathieu Lehanneur, at the 2010 Milan Furniture Fair last week. Over the years, Veuve Clicquot has collaborated with some of the biggest names in design, like Andrée Putman, Karim Rashid, Pablo Reinoso, Tom Dixon, 5.5 Designers and Front Design.
This year, as part of the renovation of its town house in Reims, Veuve Clicquot has commissioned works by the Campana Brothers and Mathieu Lehanneur to decorate the Hôtel du Marc residence (Veuve Clicquot town house) and delight visitors. These imaginative projects correspond to the hotel’s reputation for hospitality, aesthetics and pleasure, all in the spirit of the Champagne tradition. Dating back from the 18th and 19th Centuries, the Hotel du Marc has been under renovation for the past two years. The hotel will open its doors again in Spring 2011, with the Gloriette and Once Upon a Dream available to guests.
Something extra :
Once Upon a Dream by Mathieu Lehanneur
This installation by Mathieu Lehanneur has been designed to help people rapidly recuperate and adapt to their new surroundings, based on tested psychological studies used in sleep treatment clinics to help cure chronic insomnia. The capsule installation will allow Hôtel du Marc guests to recover as quickly as possible from jetlag, in an extraordinary space—a sleep unit that is a hybrid between fairy tale and home cinema. This is a nod to the history of the Veuve Clicquot House as Barbe-Nicole Clicquot-Ponsardin was a notorious insomniac.

KIKS TYO x whyworks – Inspiration Backpack and Hipsack
KIKS TYO from Tokyo have teamed up with whyworks from Seoul to produce a dual purpose Inspiration Backpack and Hipsack. This is an interesting backpack design which integrates a hipsack into the bottom of the bag. Strikingly colored in bright red and black accents, this is a highly visible piece both on the streets or in the woods.
With multiple straps on the backpack and hipsack, the new pack is not only functional but aesthetically pleasing. Crocodile print panels add texture to the otherwise monotone bag, and the bag also features multiple pockets and compartments on the outside.
