So what if my favorite soccer team's title bid had just been 
dashed by crosstown rivals? This was MILAN, baby-- and I'd landed me a bargain room at UNA's sleek little Hotel Tocq.
Just a stone's throw from the trendy Corso Como, the Tocq is the quintessential European boutique hotel. Not many frills, just 122 compact rooms, all furnished with with the same ultramodern artistic motif that graces the lobby.
Abstract art and designer furniture abound here; only fitting for a place set so squarely in the center of Europe's capital of style. Plus you gotta love the bright-red hallway walls, all the more trippy and surreal after a really late night on the town.
If you're hungry but thinking twice about shelling out 50 euros on lunch for two on Corso Como, the terraced UNA Restaurant offers a limited choice of Italian fare. There's also a breakfast room downstairs. The baguettes were great, and I crossed paths with loads of foreign tourists and business travelers alike.
The place ain't huge so book early--
