A comfortable space, nicely decorated and with wonderful views of the Duomo, Tower Grande seems to have a fair amount going for it. The hosting is on point, with cleaning every other day and a concierge on-site to help you with anything you need. This is all beside the point though. The flat is inside the Torre Velasca, the brutalist giant that stretches towards the sky like an enormous concrete mushroom. It’s rare to get the chance to stay in such a building, and we recommend you grab it with both hands.
