New in Milan or Venice?
 

For a project and upcoming trip, I'm looking for new high-end hotels, restaurants and/or shops in Milan and Venice. Anybody have any recent positive experiences? Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Don't now how new you mean. In Venice the Ca'Pisani & the Sant Angelo hotels are relatively new, but there are a few others that have been mentioned here.

Sorry. I'm thinking of places that have opened within the past year.

In Milan there is a cool hotel called &quot;Town House 31&quot;. You can find out about them at www.designhotels.com . Ciao, Melissa

Another vote for 'Townhouse 31'. Just read about it in a magazine. Seems very popular with fashion people. Only some 20 rooms.

Those are great tips. Thanks. Would you happen to remember the magazine where you read about Town House 31?

Hm... it's the best monthly fashion/travel/food magazine in Switzerland called 'Bolero' and it has a Milan special right now.

Brettsy,<BR>I found a few more new places for you. <BR> <BR>In Milan, Il Gattopardo is a bar that used to be a church. It's been open for about 18 months. It has a buffet, with hot and cold food &amp; is open late. Closed on Mondays. phone 02/3453-7699. <BR><BR>In Venice, I think (but am not sure) Osteria Vecio Fritolin near the Rialto bridge is relatively new.<BR>http://www.veciofritolin.com/english/index_eng.htm<BR><BR>Also in Venice, Ristorante San Giorgio looks wonderful on the website.<BR>http://www.ristorantesangiorgio.it/<BR>Castello, 2185 - 30122 Venezia - Tel 041 5231 993

All great. Thanks so much.<BR><BR>And keep them coming...
