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.

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!)

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.

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

In the bustling business and financial center of the city and right across from a Metro station.

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.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Here, they say it’s free (‘cause it is).

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

Amenities like scented oils make sweet dreams even sweeter.

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