Our Tried & Tested Luxury Hotels in Milan

No Italian city does luxury hotels quite like Milan. Since the turn of the millennium, the city has acquired some stylish lodgings that do justice to its reputation as Italy's fashion and design capital. Whether you’re looking for historic splendor or cutting-edge cool, we’ve rounded up the best luxury hotels in Milan to sit back and get pampered.

5* Four Seasons Hotel Milan

If you can get a room at the Four Seasons during fashion week without booking a year in advance, you're either very rich, very well connected, or, more likely, both. Right in the middle of the Quadrilatero d'Oro fashion district, on a quiet road between the boutique arteries of Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga, this former 15th-century convent, which opened as a hotel in 1993, is the last word in discreet luxury, with the impeccable service that one expects of the brand. The style is no-expenses-spared without vulgar excess: rich silks and velvets (including Fortuny fabrics), highly polished pear-wood and cherrywood furniture, Murano chandeliers, and back-heated bathroom mirrors (which won't steam up). The 118 rooms and suites vary a great deal in size and view. The opulent Il Zelo restaurant cooks up an haute mix of traditional and new Italian cuisine and has views of the hotel's patio below. Last but not least there is a stylish and attractive spa with a superb swimming pool underneath a 19-century vaulted ceiling.

Pro Tip: Milan Fashion Week happens twice a year and is always a season ahead: the Spring/Summer event is held in September/October, while the Autumn/Winter event is held in February/March. Many say that the September/October edition is the best to visit because of the nice weather, but don’t underestimate the February/March edition: Milan has a special charm during early spring.
