Milan's Arch Week, running from June 12 to 18, will feature ArchiBike, a bike tour of the city's most glamorous contemporary hotels led by their designers. The format, created by TOWANT and first launched in Bolzano, takes place on June 14. Participating hotels include Room Mate Hotel by Patricia Urquiola, housed in a 19th-century bank building; La Gare Hotel by BMS Progetti, a converted office near Stazione Centrale with a rooftop bar; Château Monfort by FZI Interiors, styled as a neo-romantic castle; Baglioni Hotel Carlton by Spagnulo & Partners on Via della Spiga; and Excelsior Hotel Gallia by Studio Marco Piva, facing Stazione Centrale and owned by a Qatari investment fund. The tour is part of Milan's broader strategy of themed weeks, following Fashion Week, Design Week, Art Week, Food Week, and Photo Week.
