NH Collection Milano CityLife, a new 4-star hotel is now open in the Meneghino capital city. The hotel is built upon the original structure of the Church of Christ the King, which was erected in 1934 for religious use and then abandoned in 1990. After an order from the Bishop of Milan in 2017, the church was deconsecrated and later acquired by the company CLH srl, part of Gruppo Igefi and rehabilitated by the architectural design firm QuattroAssociati under the management of NH Hotel Group.
The church building, made from masonry with a Latin cross floor plan with three naves, has been partly maintained – as have the original wooden doors, the round arches and the aisles of the side naves, which now serve as the entrance to the hotel.
There are a total of 185 rooms, including 10 duplex suites built above the central nave. Six of these suites also have terraces with views of the city. The remaining 175 rooms are in the 13-story tower.
The hotel is also equipped with a garage with 43 parking spaces, including 3 for electric cars, an efficient photovoltaic system, and a gym, open 24/7, equipped with Technogym machines. On the top floor, there is a pool with a cocktail bar. The District will have signature cocktails from 7:30 pm.
