A4’s right there & the airport’s within an easy drive (aka feel free to hit snooze a few more times).

Subtly elegant style with expansive backlit photographs of the city in every room.

Former home of nobility, transformed to a hotel back in 1945 and flourishing in its new identity ever since. (5-min walk to the historic centre!)

Easy airport, Milan & lakes access via the ultra-close train station (and did we mention you’re right by the medieval town of Bergamo Alta?).

Well-placed for seeing Verona’s biggies like the 13th-century Castello Scaligero and Lake Garda. Go forth and conquer.

Floating beds are sweet. Even if they don't *really* float.

Free WiFi: you gotta have it, so they bring it.

Amenities like scented oils make sweet dreams even sweeter.

Getting in late or heading out early? The airport is 5 min away.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

Free shuttle will get you to the airport pronto – save the cab fare for a bevvy on the plane.

Within easy luggage-lugging distance of the train station, and less than a 20-min walk to the Arena.

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

Super easy to get around: Linate Airport is 20 minutes away, the Sesto San Giovanni train station is a ten-minute walk and there’s a bus stop across the street.
