The setting
This hotel is on Corso Como in the Garibaldi FS-Porta Nuova neighbourhood, where fashion, design studios, and skyscrapers come together. This neighbourhood is one of the liveliest in Milan and is easy to explore on foot; bars, boutiques, and cultural venues are all within walking distance of one another. In addition, from the main Garibaldi FS train station, you can reach any part of the city by metro or train in just a few minutes. Instead of the quiet atmosphere of a residential neighbourhood, this area boasts a lively, design-oriented vibe.
What to expect
A four-star urban design hotel with cosy, stylish, roomy, snuggle and family & friends categories to choose from. Rooms come with air conditioning, a work desk, fridge, safe and tea and coffee making facilities. Downstairs you'll find a bar and restaurant for all-day eating, plus an indoor pool for a swim after a day pounding the pavements. Free Wi-Fi and parking round it out.
Things to do nearby
Piazza Gae Aulenti, with its high-rise buildings, is right next to the hotel, and the Monumental Cemetery, known for its impressive tomb sculptures, is within walking distance. The Pinacoteca di Brera, with its collection of ancient art, is an easy walk south, while Sempione Park and the Giardini Indro Montanelli are two green spaces for relaxation that are a 20-minute walk away.
Best for
Design lovers, shoppers and couples after a stylish city base in Milan's most fashion-forward district. Families are welcome too, with a family & friends room category and Kids' TV Networks in the room.

Your 4 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Skyscrapers, shopping and Corso Como
How about taking a stroll through Gaetano Aulenti Square, located just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, to soak up the atmosphere of the neighbourhood? The UniCredit Tower rises above the fountain in the square. Stop by the boutiques along Corso Como and enjoy a coffee on the terrace of one of the cafés. In the evening, during aperitivo time, take a stroll down Via Garibaldi and have dinner at one of the restaurants on Corso Como, where you can mingle with members of Milan’s design scene.
Brera galleries and old Milan
Take a walk south to the Pinacoteca di Brera and spend the morning surrounded by works by Raphael, Caravaggio, and Mantegna. Stroll through the narrow streets of the Brera district, pop into some antique shops, and then find a trattoria where you can enjoy a cozy lunch. Then continue on toward Milan Cathedral and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, take a few souvenir photos at Milan’s most famous landmarks, and hop on a tram at Garibaldi Station to head back.
Parco Sempione and Monumentale
Let’s start your walk with the sculpture-adorned graves and tombstones of the Monumental Cemetery (Cimitero Monumentale), located just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. It’s one of the city’s most impressive open-air sites. From there, you’ll head to Sempione Park and take a leisurely stroll past Sforza Castle and the Arch of Peace. In the late afternoon, you can relax with a swim in the hotel’s indoor pool, followed by dinner at one of the nearby restaurants.
Fashion streets and a last espresso
On your last morning, you had a walk through the “Quadrilatero della Moda” ahead of you. This is the area around Via Montenapoleone, where leading Italian brands have opened their flagship stores. Even just admiring the store windows makes the walk there more than worth it. Take a short detour to the Giardini Indro Montanelli, treat yourself to a peaceful break in the shade of the plane trees, and then head back to the hotel to pick up your luggage, and enjoy one last espresso at the bar before catching the train or shuttle bus.

FAQ
How many days do you need in Milan?
As noted in your reservation, three nights is the perfect amount of time to get to know Milan. You’ll have plenty of time to visit the cathedral and the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, spend a leisurely morning at the Brera Art Museum, stroll along Corso Como and through the skyscraper district, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon in Sempione Park. If you’d like to take a day trip to Lake Como or shop at the outlet malls, the hotel recommends booking one more night.
What is the cheapest month to visit Milan?
Since locals head to the coast in August and the number of business trips drops, hotel rates in Milan are generally at their lowest during this time. Also, in January and early February—when neither Fashion Week nor the furniture fair is taking place—prices offer excellent value for money. It’s best to avoid Fashion Week (February and September), when prices spike, as well as the Salone del Mobile in April.
Is Milan cold in October?
The weather in Milan in October is mild rather than cold. Maximum daytime temperatures at the beginning of the month are around 17–19 °C, but by the end of the month they drop to 13–15 °C; nights are cool, and there may be rain. On most days, a light sweater and a waterproof jacket are more than enough. In late September, when the trips included in this offer are scheduled, it’s even warmer, and temperatures often reach the lower 20s °C.
What is Milan best known for?
Milan is known first and foremost as the centre of Italy fashion and design; it is home to the “Quadrilatero della Moda,” the “Salone del Mobile,” and numerous ateliers that give rise to world-famous brands. In addition, the city is famous for its Gothic Duomo cathedral, La Scala theatre, Leonardo da Vinci’s painting *Leonardo's Last Supper* in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, its aperitif culture, and the successful soccer clubs AC Milan and Inter Milan.
What is the most famous thing in Milan?
The Duomo di Milano is the city's most famous landmark, a vast Gothic cathedral topped with more than 3,000 statues and a rooftop terrace you can walk across for views over the city. Just as iconic is Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper mural in the refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie, though tickets must be booked well ahead.
