The Grand Hotel et Du Milan has been the place to stay since the 1863, halfway between La Scala opera house and the cathedral in the heart of the Quadrilatero d'Oro high fashion shopping district.
Completely overhauled in 1993–95, it's now a mix of modern luxe and old-fashioned plush luxury, harking back to the days when Callas would stay nowhere else.
Need more pedigree? Composer Giuseppe Verdi spent his final 30 years ensconced in the presidential-style suite, which retains the desk upon which he composed many of his operas. (Whilst the maestro lay dying, the hotel staff went out each morning to spread fresh hay on the surrounding cobblestone streets to muffle the clatter of hoofs and carriage wheels so the great man could have his rest.)
When choosing a room, "deluxe" set themselves apart from "classic" by being larger and coming with genuine antiques; suites are so large they feel like mini-apartments..
