Easy airport, Milan & lakes access via the ultra-close train station (and did we mention you’re right by the medieval town of Bergamo Alta?).

A4’s right there & the airport’s within an easy drive (aka feel free to hit snooze a few more times).

Getting in late or heading out early? The airport is 5 min away.

Free WiFi: you gotta have it, so they bring it.

Faces the same park as the grand Milano Centrale station.

Across the piazza from the soaring 1920s architectural masterpiece of Milano Centrale station.

Boasts a dreamy address overlooking the Seriana Valley. Take it all in from the spa’s outdoor pool, panoramic sauna or lounger-lined garden.

Subtly elegant style with expansive backlit photographs of the city in every room.

Fancy a dip? Pop into the hotel pool.

Set in a quieter spot within easy reach of the metro (read: city-centre adventures are just a short ride away).

On the River Adda, benefiting from the halo of proximity to the world-famous Lake Como. Also: free house bikes!

Super easy to get around: Linate Airport is 20 minutes away, the Sesto San Giovanni train station is a ten-minute walk and there’s a bus stop across the street.

Modern rooms feature sleek wood floors and are jazzed up by splashes of pop art.

De-stress post-travel with a dip in the outdoor pool, a cocktail (or two) at the resto's bar, or some downtime on the terrace.

Free shuttle will get you to the airport pronto – save the cab fare for a bevvy on the plane.
