Top hotels in Milan for all tastes at the foot of the Cathedral

You can’t get more central than Duomo Rooms. This hotel is perfect if you want to experience Milan’s glamorous spirit. In fact, it sits just a stone’s throw from the Fashion Quarter and Piazza Duomo, making it the ideal starting point for a day of shopping. The rooms have been decorated by renowned interior designers, so you’ll have the perfect backdrop in which to let out your inner Chiara Ferragni and post ultra-fashionable Instagram stories.

Are you looking for a hotel with in-room Jacuzzi in Milan? Or even a hotel room with its own Turkish bath in Milan? If opulence is what you desire, there’s plenty of it at Montenapoleone Suites. Your stay is made to measure, so you can soak in the bath and forget all about Milan’s infamously busy streets. If you feel like venturing out of this aparthotel, you can do so in the knowledge that the Quadrilatero della Moda fashion district is right outside your door, so you won’t even have to choose between shopping and relaxation!

Don’t want to miss out on modern-day Milan’s place to be? Then not only do you need a hotel in the Tortona district, you need the hotel in the Tortona district, Nhow Milano, whose parties are attended by models and style icons. Located in a flawlessly redeveloped ex-industrial area, this hotel offers all the exclusivity you could wish for with its bold colours and designer furniture (which you’ll also find in the shop windows of the Design District). Furniture that – in the lobby at least – changes every six months! And if you want to throw yourself into the Milanese nightlife, you know you’re just a few minutes away from the Navigli canals.

Located between Sant’Ambrogio and the Columns of San Lorenzo, and between the Cathedral and the Navigli canals, Hotel Ariston is in a prime position for you to explore the city’s main attractions without even having to use public transport. Unless, of course, you fancy using one of the bicycles available for free from the hotel. After a day exploring every corner of the city on foot (or by bike), take a moment to relax in your room and recharge your batteries before throwing yourself back out into the Milanese nightlife.

Just behind one of Milan’s longest shopping streets, Corso Buenos Aires, you can wave goodbye to stress the moment you cross the threshold into the Hado Spa. The Worldhotel Cristoforo Colombo has the optimum combination of location and services to ensure your holiday to Milan has the perfect balance of shopping and relaxation. A sauna, Turkish bath, sensory shower and plenty more relaxing options will help melt away the frenzy of the city, while the elegantly decorated rooms will be a worthy way to end your day.

Is Milan really as grey as they say it is? The unique view from the rooms facing the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens at Manin Hotel, Milan will certainly make you think twice! If you’re staying in the Panoramic Suite, not only will you have park views, but you can even sit in a Jacuzzi on the terrace looking out over the treetops. If that isn’t luxury…

If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Milan, the NH Milano Touring is sure to win you over. You can even see the skyline of Porta Nuova and the Cathedral from the rooms here, and you can get to both Brera and the shopping streets on foot. What’s more, the NH Touring sets itself apart with one key fact: it was the first hotel in Italy to have… an en suite bathroom (it did open in 1926, after all!) Feel free to share that little gem with your travel companions over an aperitivo.

Are you a gym bunny? If so, you should choose the Crowne Plaza Milan City while staying in Milan. Where else can you work out in the gym with views of Monterosa but still be close to the shiny new Isola quarter? Take advantage of the sauna and Turkish baths in the hotel fitness centre to relax after a nice run.

You only have to venture a little outside the centre of Milan to find the Grand Visconti Palace, a four-star hotel that has everything you need to make your Milanese holiday a relaxing one. Between the 120 m2 pool,  a sauna, a Turkish bath and treatment rooms, you won’t know where to begin. In fact, it’s no coincidence that we included the Visconti among the best spa hotels in Italy. Remember to pack your swimming cap though: without it you won’t be allowed to dive in to all that relaxation!
