Location

The hotel is set right in the heart of Milan, a mere nine-minute walk from what is perhaps the Italian city’s best-known attraction, the Duomo. This Gothic masterpiece took nearly six centuries to complete, and it’s a great place to kick off a walking tour (just as soon as you’ve indulged in an ultra-rich and typically Milanese hot chocolate). Milan is packed with museums and galleries, so there’s no shortage of choice. Start with the Pinacoteca di Brera, a 20-minute walk from the hotel, for its fantastic collection of Italian paintings, before exploring the works housed within the nearby Sforza Castle. You’ll also want to make time to view “The Last Supper,” Da Vinci’s famous masterpiece, in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie.With Milan being Italy’s fashion and design capital, it’s also worth treating your credit card to some retail adventures in the upmarket fashion district, quadrilatero della moda, where you’ll find every big-name designer under the sun.
