Six experiences

For guests of UNA Hotels Cusani

Fatto a mano, nel cuore di Brera

Six hands-on experiences, chosen for our guests, with local makers around Brera and Borgonuovo. Each is a short walk from the hotel, and one is in the green of Parco Sempione.

Milan, made with your own hands

UNA Hotels Cusani sits between the Castello Sforzesco, Brera and the Duomo, and welcomes guests with sober elegance and careful attention to detail. The same care lives in the ateliers and workshops of the neighbourhood, where makers work with paper, ink, wood and scent. These workshops invite you to slow down and make something yourself, guided by the people who know the craft best. It is a way to know Milan through its gestures as well as its landmarks.
