Aethos Milan

$$$ | Piazza XXIV Maggio 8, Milan, 20123, Italy Fodor's Choice

The decor in this eclectic, extremely hip hotel at the foot of the lively Corso di Porta Ticinese and by the Navigli canals features sports memorabilia from golf, horseback riding, boxing, and others. The lobby area is anything but traditional: check in while sitting in a barber's chair, as you plot to carve out time in the inviting dark leather couches or perhaps enjoy a cocktail at The Doping Bar, or dinner in the Mediterranean-style restaurant, Zaïa. Despite all the design, the ambience is casual and welcoming. Some suites even have their own terraces where you can chill in private.

Pros

  • Contemporary flair
  • Interesting location near many restaurants and bars
  • Very friendly staff

Cons

  • Lacking some of the amenities of large hotels
  • About a half-hour hike from the Duomo and central attractions
  • Bar noise can be heard in some rooms

Armani Hotel Milano

$$$$ | Via Manzoni 31, Milan, 20121, Italy Fodor's Choice

This minimalist boutique hotel looks like it has been plucked from the pages of a sleek magazine, and it should: it was designed by fashion icon Giorgio Armani to evoke the same sculptural, streamlined aesthetic—and tailored comfort—as his signature clothing. Room types range from deluxe (with metallic roll-top desks and soaking tubs) to posh two-story suites (replete with central staircase and living room). All have Armani bath amenities, and many have balconies; an iPad controls lights, curtains, and other tasks like ordering room service. Every guest is treated like a VIP, with extras like a "lifestyle manager"—appointed to each guest upon arrival to accommodate any request—and complimentary minibars stocked with soda, juices, and snacks. The restaurant affords floor-to-ceiling views of Milan's rooftops, and the spa encourages guests to customize their experience.

Pros

  • Complimentary (except for alcohol) minibar
  • Lovely spa area and 24-hour gym
  • Great location near major shopping streets

Cons

  • Breakfast (only included in some rates) not up to par
  • Some noise issues from neighboring rooms
  • A few signs of wear and tear

Park Hyatt Milan

$$$$ | Via Tommaso Grossi 1, Milan, 20121, Italy Fodor's Choice

Extensive use of warm travertine stone and modern art creates a sophisticated yet inviting backdrop at the Park Hyatt, where spacious, opulent guest rooms have walk-in closets and bathrooms with double sinks, glass-enclosed rain showers, and separate soaking tubs. A 30-foot-high glass-domed "cupola" tops the lobby, and rooftop suites have terraces with city views. The hotel seems determined to spoil its demanding clientele with a seemingly endless number of amenities.

Pros

  • Central location
  • Contemporary decor and amenities
  • Excellent restaurant

Cons

  • Not particularly intimate
  • Very expensive
  • Some rooms showing a little wear
