3Rooms is a three-room B&B tucked into a corner of 10CorsoComo, Carla Sozzani's cult fashion complex with a restaurant, bar, café, boutique and art gallery. It is some distance from Milan's cultural attractions, but the fashion-buyers who make up its clientele are too happily ensconced to notice. US designer Kris Ruhs has set a new standard for B&Bs, creating individual apartments, each with a private entrance, bedroom, living room, dressing room and bathroom. The decor combines cool white walls with 20th-century design classics, including Arne Jacobsen's Swan and Egg chairs, Charles and Ray Eames bedspreads, Joe Colombo lights, Op Art rugs, a Noguchi sofa and Ruhs-designed crystal tables.
The bathrooms are decorated with Bisazza mosaic tiles. In-room Internet access and
private fax machines are provided, and there are Bang & Olufsen televisions and music systems. The room-service breakfast is expansive, with a choice of 24 teas and infusions, 13 coffees, numerous cakes, pastries, cheeses, fruits and cereals, and
an unusual but delectable omelette made with Indian spices.
WHEN TO GO
In summer, when 10CorsoComo's courtyard comes alive with alfresco diners.
ROOM TO BOOK
Suite 3, for its fabulous, floor-to-ceiling ring-chain light.
