Milan - downtown hotels

Hotel Sempione, Milano

Set within an historic building, and recently entirely refurbished, the Hotel Sempione, Milan occupies a great position for the downtown of this city in Lombardy - the Italian capital of fashion, business and commerce. Located just 50 metres from the Piazza della Repubblica and some 500 metres from the main rail station (Milano Centrale), this Milan hotel puts you at the heart of things. Just a few minutes walk away is the Corso Buenos Aires: a broad boulevard of boutiques running north-east from the Giardini Pubblici, it has the highest concentration of clothes shops in Europe. You'll also find plenty of bars, cinemas and more for when you need a break from shopping.

And Milan has a wealth of historic treasures too of course. In the Duomo it has Europe's largest (and perhaps most elaborate) Gothic cathedral; the Castello Sforzesco (Milan's signature building) built by the once almighty Sforza family; and superb museums and galleries such as the Pinacoteca di Brera and the Galleria d'Arte Moderna.

The Hotel Sempione's choice of single, double and triple rooms (some with air conditioning) have en-suite bathrooms and their own phones. There is wireless internet access (for which you do have to pay), and the always-open front desk offers laundry facilities, safety deposit boxes and assistance on making the most of your stay in Milan. This Milan hotel has a restaurant, lounge and bar, meeting facilities and valet parking. The Milan Fair is just a quarter hour away and can easily be reached by metro (subway/underground) train.
