The internationally recognized center of fashion and the business capital of Italy, Milan is an amazing fusion of the latest trends with a rich historical tradition, manifested both in architecture and in everyday life. For most tourists, Milan is primarily the famous Duomo Cathedral and the huge Sforza Castle, but the number of attractions in the city is much longer and includes such gems as the Teatro alla Scala, the Ambrosian Library and the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery.
Regardless of whether you are visiting Milan for business or leisure, the question of where to find accommodation is not worth it. The hotel fund of the city is more than rich and represented:
- hotels of all categories, including high-end chains such as the Hyatt and the Four Seasons;
- hostels and guest houses;
- apartments;
- campgrounds and motels.
Unlike Florence or Venice, Milan occupies a fairly large area, and therefore the location of the hotel plays an important role: if it is located in the suburbs, it will not be very convenient to get there by public transport. As a comparison of hotels in popular Italian cities shows, prices in Milan are higher than anywhere else, but this does not mean that it is impossible to find budget options and you will have to pay at least 100 euros per day. If you want to save money, then take advantage of Hotelhunter's capabilities, in particular, the "Great Offer" search parameter, as well as promotions and special offers.
It must be remembered that there are four weeks of the year when Milan hotels are overcrowded, and it is unrealistic to find places in them without prior reservation: this is the time when the famous Fashion Weeks are held, which attracts models, couturiers and countless representatives of the fashion industry from around the world. If you intend to visit Milan during this period, you will have to book a hotel almost six months in advance. However, this has its advantages, because early booking allows you to reduce the cost of accommodation and provides the widest possible choice.
