On top of the flagship Armani store in Milan is the Armani Hotel and its the Bamboo Bar on 7th Floor. Access to the hotel and lifts is completely flat and the minute you enter you feel like you’re someone and somewhere special.

Armani’s Flagship Store & Hotel in Milan

It was here that we experienced a very different view on accessibility compared to the UK & US – namely the weird one grab rail rule!! You can see our article on Milan here.

Take a look at the Disabled toilet at The Armani Hotel, below and you’ll see what we mean….

Hotel Armani Milan, With The Typical Italian ‘One Grab Rail’ Design! Not Sure Why The Other Bars Are Behind The Table.

However the hotel did have good access and the most stylish bar, The Bamboo Bar, adorned with the beautifully attired Milanese. One of the best places in Milan for a cocktail. We gave the bar 2.5 BBS Ticks for style and access even though the toilet was for the ambidextrous. It got the max score for style as you overlooked the city of Milan through slatted blinds that produced a very flattering light. It is one of my best bars in the world. Great ambience, service, drinks and nibbles. 2.5 BBS Ticks nearly 3 but for the toilet.
