- Four Seasons Hotel Milano (Magenta & Brera) Phone: 02-77088 or 800-332-3442 (US) Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Marble, glass, and floral arrangements are modern additions; vestiges from the past include fifteenth-century Renaissance cloisters and frescoes and an eighteenth-century fireplace."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "Rooms are terrifically spacious, with thick rugs on modern parquet; designer chairs in comfy sitting areas; large, marble-sheathed bathrooms with heated floors; CD stereos; and walk-in closets."
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "Four Seasons polish and a fashionable address, next door to the city’s best shopping."
- Park Hyatt Milan Phone: 02-8821-1234 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Guests praise the 'lovely walk-in closets and spacious bathrooms' with deep tubs. A glass dome admits natural light into the Lobby Lounge and enables 'great people-watching.'"
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "With only 117 rooms, it's an intimate property, with spacious rooms and glorious bathrooms that are easily the best in Milan."
- Hotel Principe di Savoia Milano Phone: 02-62301 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "The sheer size of this 401-room behemoth will not suit all, but it does guarantee top-class facilities, including a full-featured spa with indoor pool, a decent modern Italian restaurant, and two bars."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Travel + Leisure 500 Winner: "A familiar retreat among well-traveled sophisticates."
- Bulgari Milano (Montenapoleone) Phone: 02-805-8051 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Tucked away on a private drive adjacent to a botanical garden and just steps off the Italian-fashion-label mecca of the Villa Montenapoleone, the 58-room Bulgari manages the trick of being trendy and tranquil at the same time."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "Just as the adjacent Botanical Gardens were used to develop medicines, the first Bulgari hotel serves up a rejuvenating tonic, with its cool, calming decor, peaceful gardens and divine spa."
- Grand Hotel et De Milan (Magenta & Brera) Phone: 02-678-5716 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "The suites genuinely feel like small apartments rather than hotel rooms with their homelike arrangement of antiques and piped-in opera (perhaps something by Maria Callas, once a regular guest)."
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "With a great location in the old heart of Milan, for many this is the best hotel in Milan - and it's hard to disagree. Dating back to 1863, it's a family-managed affair, with sumptuous antique furniture and polished service."
Milan Moderate Hotels
- Doria Grand Hotel (Near Stazione Centrale) Phone: 02-6741-1411 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "The Doriagrand is one of the large newer hotels that cluster around the station and is far more comfortable and stylish than most hotels in its luxury class."

- Antica Locanda Solferino (Magenta & Brera) Phone: 02-657-0129 Google Map
- Frommer's Exceptional Rating: "[T]his is a delightful place to stay in one of Milan's most enticing neighborhoods, and reception manager Gerardo Vitolo is very friendly. Jacuzzi baths and air-conditioning in some rooms only add to the experience."
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "Located in the heart of the hip and arty Brera area, this charming little hotel has for years been the host of fashion and film types, who are attracted to its cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and quiet ambience."

- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended: "Travelers often find their way to this rambling hotel on the recommendation of former guests, many of them in the fashion world, who tend to rave about the friendly service..."

- Antica Locanda Dei Mercanti Phone: 02-805-4080 Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Good-value accommodation has always been a problem in Italy's most ostentatiously wealthy city—especially in the center of town. Which is why this upmarket guesthouse a five-minute walk from the Duomo is often booked solid."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Fodor's Review
: "On a quiet side street off Via Dante, this 14-room hotel is minutes -- and light-years -- away from Milan's bustling downtown."
- Fodor's Review
- Townhouse 31 Phone: 02-70156 Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "The shabby-chic rooms can seem quite subdued after the downstairs styling, but they're comfortable and—for such a fashionista place—surprisingly good value."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
Milan Affordable Hotels
- Enterprise Hotel Phone: 866-376-7831 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Bedrooms are just as big, bright, and handsome, thanks to the generous factory spaces, and they're loaded up with Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet, AC, minibar, and digital TV."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "This cool hotel stays busy keeping the Fiera di Milano-going crowd happy with its stylish design, excellent business facilities and welcoming bars."
- Hotel Paganini (Near Stazione Centrale) Phone: 02-204-7443 Google Map
- Frommer's Highly Recommended: "[T]he management goes to great lengths to keep this a clean, no-nonsense budget hotel: the guest rooms are large, bright, with high ceilings, solid beds, and banal modular furnishings of varying ages."
- Milano Hotel America (East of the Duomo) Phone: 02-738-1865 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "Though this establishment is a bit off the beaten track in a middle-class neighborhood due east of Piazza del Duomo, the young owner and his family work overtime to make this pensione one of the best lower-priced lodgings in Milan."
- Hotel Kennedy (Near Stazione Centrale) Phone: 02-2940-0934 Google Map
- Frommer's Recommended: "The name reflects the English-speaking management's fondness for the late president, and the family is genuinely welcoming to the many Americans who find their way to their pensione a block off the southern end of Corso Buenos Aires."

- Hotel Verbano Phone: 0323-30408 Google Map
- Concierge.com Recommendation
: "Far and away the nicest place to stay on the central part of the lake. All the rooms (each named after a flower) are prettily decorated in pastel colors and painted cast-iron headboards."
- Concierge.com Recommendation
Milan Hostels
- Hotel Durante Phone: 02-2614-5050 Map
- Hostelz.com Recommended: "The rooms are small but have their own shower (which takes a while to warm up) and a TV (although only Italian language channels)."
- Ostello Piero Rotta Hostel Milan Phone: 02-3926-7095 Google Map
- Lonely Planet Recommended: "The city's only HI hostel is a two-minute walk south along Viale Angelo Salmoiraghi from the QT8 underground stop. It's clean, but not really convenient. HI cards are compulsory."
- Hostel Diablo (East of the Duomo) Phone: 02-7104-0513 Google Map
