Milan Hotels

If you want to spend the night as a supermodel might, then these huge stylish suites in a converted perfume factory are just the ticket. Located in the fashionable Forcella district, which is awash with designers in fashion week, this suite-only hotel has every mod con.

Just a stone's throw from the Duomo, this is Europe's first 7-star hotel. It offers guests an in-room coiffeur and spa service, free Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked minibar that is refurbished daily. They offer a choice of contemporary suites overlook the Galleria. Exclusive and opulent, it gives guests serious bragging rights.

David Beckham, Ben Affleck and Sophia Loren are among the celebrities to have graced this top-notch luxury hotel. With all the hustle and bustle of a large hotel, but the attentive service of a boutique, the swimming pool, spa and impressive bar make Principe Di Savoia one of Milan’s more fashionable stays.

Only five minutes from the Duomo, this is Milan's first ecological hotel, which offers 52 plain, immaculate but tastefully furnished rooms that are comfortable yet inexpensive. Some come with a Jacuzzi while others offer city views. There's Wi-Fi, and free bicycles are available for guests to use.

Like staying inside a contemporary work of art, Straf has 64 individually styled rooms that make the most of texture and colour. This sensual approach extends into its wellbeing rooms, which offer aromatherapy and chromotherapy treatments. The hotel also boasts a small gym and a first-class location just opposite the Duomo.

14 individually decorated rooms make up this bijou hideaway - an oasis of tranquillity just a stone's throw from Milan's top attractions. Four of the rooms have terraces, but there is a choice of smaller rooms and suites, some with contemporary four-poster beds. Its continental breakfasts can be served in the room.

If you're prepared to sacrifice location for affordability, without cutting corners on style, then opt for this design hotel in Via Tortona. The rooms are minimalist, slightly retro and futuristic, almost stark. Although it may not appear comfortable, it’s certainly a place you'll enjoy talking about.

Built for the Milan Expo in 2015, this sparkling 4-star stay has much more to offer than its superb location near Central and Porta Garibaldi stations. Sleek sleeping quarters make the most of muted colours and Murano glass, while its rooftop bar, world-class wellness centre and sublime spa are further reasons not to leave.

Located near the calm of Parco Sempione, this simply furnished, art nouveau hotel is a good budget option. The rooms are clean, while staff are friendly and helpful. It is also outside the congestion charge zone, so a good choice if driving. We suggest asking for a room with a balcony for a fantastic view.
