Portrait Milano – Lungarno Collection
“The Portrait is my favorite place to stay in Milan. Once an old seminary, it has transformed into one of the city’s most beautiful hotels. Most rooms overlook the courtyard and are designed for comfort and tranquility, effectively blocking street noise. The courtyard is stunning, and the Beefbar is conveniently located for dining. The rooms feature elegant red accents, a blend of opulence and modernity, with many offering private terraces. Room service is prompt, and the in-room bar for tea is excellent, complete with a kettle and a variety of sachets. The service is always exceptional.” — Amy Astley, global editorial director and U.S. editor-in-chief

Max Brown Missori

Designed by Saar Zafrir, the hotel features 64 rooms inspired by the ’70s, filled with vintage furnishings. Rooms vary from compact and affordable to spacious, and it’s just a few blocks from the Duomo, making it an ideal base for exploring.” — Hannah Martin, senior design editor

Park Hyatt Milan
“I had the pleasure of staying at the Park Hyatt during a recent Salone del Mobile as a guest of a luxury brand. This hotel is a favorite among fashionistas due to its central location and comfortable yet elegant accommodations. The La Cupola restaurant, located beneath a stunning glass dome, serves a delightful breakfast buffet. After breakfast, I would venture out to the nearby Piazza del Duomo or Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for my appointments. When I could, I returned to my beautifully refurbished room by architect Flaviano Capriotti. For me, the Park Hyatt is the ultimate Milan experience.” — Samuel Cochran, global features director

Hotel Principe Di Savoia

It’s among the best hotel gyms worldwide. I appreciate the charm of old-school European hotels, and the Principe consistently delivers.” — Madeline O’Malley, market director
