Why you should experience The Hub Hotel in Milan, Italy.
The Hub Hotel is a metropolitan design hotel where Musocco's industrial geography, exhibition economy, postwar expansion and contemporary business culture converge inside a fourteen-storey tower on Milan's northwestern edge.
Set along Via Privata Polonia near Via Giorgio Stephenson and just steps from the approaches to Cascina Merlata, the hotel rises within a district shaped by Milano Certosa railway infrastructure, the vast Cimitero Maggiore, the former Expo 2015 grounds and the transport corridors connecting Milan with Fieramilano Rho. Mirrored glazing, parquet floors, natural-stone bathrooms and contemporary interiors culminate on the fourteenth floor, where an indoor pool and wellness spaces open toward broad perspectives across the outer city. That vertical progression turns the tower into a retreat above an urban landscape defined by railways, exhibition grounds and successive waves of metropolitan expansion. The result is a hotel whose height, panoramic upper floor and position between historic Musocco and Milan's western exhibition corridor create a distinctive vantage point over a part of the city rarely experienced from above.
What you should know about The Hub Hotel.
The Hub Hotel is best known for opening in 2010 as a 162-room urban hotel developed around Milan's expanding exhibition and congress economy. The fourteen-storey building placed contemporary hospitality near the routes serving Fieramilano Rho, Fieramilano City and the grounds subsequently occupied by Expo 2015, establishing its commercial purpose during a consequential period for northwestern Milan. Nine naturally illuminated meeting rooms formed the principal business component, joined by unconventional open spaces designed for larger gatherings and a main room accommodating 180 people. A major institutional shift arrived in March 2024 when owner IMMOFIN S.p.A., led by chairman Aldo Grassi, selected Best Western Plus for a new phase in the property's operation. Management passed to Sirma Hotels S.p.A. under director Franco Masilla, and reservations entered BWH Hotels systems on March 14, making The Hub IMMOFIN's first property within the international network. The affiliation added another chapter to a hotel created during the development cycle surrounding Expo 2015 and subsequently repositioned within BWH Hotels more than a decade after the exhibition closed.
The fourteenth floor establishes the property's strongest experiential sequence through a panoramic wellness center positioned at the summit of the tower. An indoor heated pool occupies the upper level beside a whirlpool, sauna, steam room and fitness area, placing water and relaxation against elevated perspectives across Milan's northwestern districts. Guestrooms below combine warm parquet flooring with natural stone, steel and satin glass in the bathrooms, carrying the contemporary design program through 162 accommodations divided among Superior, Standard and Economy categories. Mirror Lounge & Restaurant introduces wenge tables and cream seating beside floor-to-ceiling glazing facing the garden, with an open kitchen exposing the preparation of Milanese and Lombard dishes. Mirror Lounge extends outdoors during warmer months through sofas placed within the garden, shifting the social experience from the tower's enclosed interiors into greenery at ground level. The rooftop wellness floor, contemporary guestrooms, open kitchen and garden lounge create a vertical sequence from secluded outdoor space to panoramic water, giving the fourteen-storey building a stronger experiential character than its business-hotel origins initially suggest.
How to fold The Hub Hotel into your trip.
The Hub Hotel works as the anchor for a day tracing northwestern Milan through Sforza-era country life, the infrastructure created for nineteenth-century metropolitan growth and Piero Bottoni's reconstruction of the landscape after World War II.
Begin at Villa Scheibler, whose origins reach the second half of the fifteenth century, when the estate developed as a hunting retreat associated with Ludovico il Moro before eighteenth-century expansion produced the surviving noble residence. The Scheibler family acquired the property during the nineteenth century and developed an English-style park around the villa; Milan purchased the estate in 1926, part of the grounds became a municipal nursery and restoration during the 2000s recovered the villa and surviving landscape elements. Continue to Cimitero Maggiore, designed by engineers Enrico Brotti and Luigi Mazzocchi between 1886 and 1895 as Milan confronted rapid territorial and demographic expansion that had overwhelmed existing burial grounds. Opened in 1895, the complex became the city's largest cemetery and now extends across 678,624 square meters, preserving the scale of the municipal infrastructure pushed toward Musocco as nineteenth-century Milan expanded beyond its older boundaries. Conclude at Monte Stella, Piero Bottoni's artificial hill developed within the experimental QT8 district conceived for the eighth Triennale di Milano after World War II. Wartime rubble formed its initial base before excavation debris enlarged the hill through subsequent construction phases, and Bottoni named it for his wife, sculptor Stella Korczynska; by 1953 he had reconceived the project as a major component of Milan's metropolitan landscape beside the western approach to the city. The progression moves from the Sforza hunting landscape at Villa Scheibler through Brotti and Mazzocchi's vast response to nineteenth-century urban growth into Bottoni's conversion of wartime destruction into metropolitan topography, revealing three radically different stages in the development of the districts surrounding The Hub Hotel.
