Four Seasons Hotel Milano ★★★

One of the top hotels in Milan, Italy

Milan's top five-star deluxe hotel lies just off Via Montenapoleone, the city's swankiest shopping boulevard. Though lacking the antiques-drawn style of its competitor Grand Hotel, it lays on more luxuries. Its central core retains many touches, including the lovely garden-planted cloisters, rediscovered during the seven-year restructuring that by 1993 had turned this 1476 convent into a hotel (the frescoes in the lobby hint that this room was once the convent's church). Rooms are terribly spacious, with thick runs on modern parquet, designer chairs in comfy sitting areas, large marble-sheathed bathrooms with heated floors, CD stereos, and walk-in closets. "Superior" rooms are on the street (protected from noise by effective double-paned windows) rather than the cloisters, with queen-size beds rather than the king-size in the "deluxe" category. "Executive" suites have a mid-size sitting area, and can be connected to deluxe doubles to form a family suite. Five bilevel suites on the ground floor of the cloisters have vaulted ceilings mostly re-frescoed (though one bit of the original painting remains), with a split-level sitting area and bedroom and the bathroom underneath, all overlooking a neighbor's quiet grassy garden. A new wing opened in 2001 in a vecchia Milano house with a central courtyard enclosed by a skylight and balcony running around each level, each of which hosts five rooms and suites. More recently, the hotel revamped the lobby and exercise room, and redid the Royal Suite.
