Milan is a city that could use a bit of green. In a former life this was the Splendido, a fairly standard luxury hotel across from the central rail station, just northwest of the city center. In its current incarnation it keeps this location, of course, but it makes the most of the thin sliver of parkland between it and the station; today it’s the Starhotels E.c.ho., a bit of clever punctuation that’s meant to underline the Echo’s credentials as an eco-hotel — or, as they prefer, an “eco-contemporary hotel.”
The shoe certainly fits. The earth tones and natural wood textures of the Echo’s interiors are a world apart from the marble and gold of the typical Milanese luxury hotel. Energy efficiency is the watchword in the rooms, from the smart thermostats to low-flow bathrooms and solar-generated electricity. And when it comes to lighting, nothing’s more efficient than natural sunlight — which, lucky for everyone involved, is also the most attractive lighting scheme yet invented.
A restaurant and bar carry on in a similar style and eco-friendly theme, and they introduce another one of the Echo’s green details — they open onto the green courtyard with its vegetable garden, the sort of pastoral touch that’s by no means a given in Milan.

I was able to check in early after arriving from an overnight flight from NY. The front desk was very accommodating. The concierge was extremely helpful in making Sunday night dinner reservations for us at a very chic restaurant.
What the hotel could do better:
Keep up the excellent standards.

What I liked:
Many desirable qualities: A quiet attractive modern room. Air conditioning. An excellent buffet breakfast in a handsome modernist space. Front desk help with calling cabs, restaurant reservations and train information. One of our most comfortable EU hotels. We'd stay at the Starhotels Echo Milan again.
What the hotel could do better:
The shower compartment is a little small even for European hotels. Another hotel inside the city center would be nice, though the location across the street from the train station with direct access to the Malpensa Airport is outstanding.
