ESCAPE
The
Best for: Super-slick style
Armani Milan
A no-brainer for true fashion lovers, Armani is
one of the slickest hotels in Milan. Nestled in the
Quadrilatero della Moda district, you can call
fashion’s big-wig brands your neighbours. What
it lacks in a woman’s touch, it makes up for in the
incredible attention to
detail, with Señor Armani
rumoured to have
designed and approved
everything himself. The
suites are impeccable, the
SPA a secret escape from
the city and Ristorante, an
Italian food lover’s dream.

Best for: Glamorous green living
Bulgari Hotel
In all its courtyard and green garden glory,
Bulgari Hotel is a natural escape far from the
madding crowd. Do MFW like the pros, and book
the Bulgari Suite on its
own private fl oor with
wrap around terrace.
By night the food of Il
Ristorante lures Milan’s
discerning gastronomes.

Best for: All the mod-cons
The Gray Hotel
Literally steps from the Duomo, hotel location
doesn’t get much better than this. The Gray is as
cool and contemporary as city hotels come, and
it offers its hip clientele a more modern slice of
Milan with fuchsia colour bursts, zebra print
interiors and hanging beds, should you desire.

TO STAY
SEPTEMBER 17-23
Best for: A city sanctuary
Park Hyatt Milan
In a spot that can’t be beaten, with its entrance
inside the world-famous Galleria Vittorio
Emanuele, it’s another one of Milan’s secret
hotels that you don’t want everyone knowing
about. The interiors are pretty and airy, and feel
like a little light-hearted oasis in the city. Book
the Imperial Suite, revive MFW-weary souls in
the spa and, if you have time, squeeze in a high
tea in the glass-roofed Cupola Lounge.

IN-THE-KNOW SECRET No trip to Milan is complete
without a night at the opera. On the 17 th, you can be at the
best shows by day and at the premiere of Don Chisciotte
at Teatro alla Scala by night. Plus, Il Ristorante Trussardi
alla Scala, opposite the theatre, is where fashion’s big
shots go to eat. Teatroallascala.org
