"Best Milan hotel for: fashion week Set within the city’s discernibly glitzy Montenapoleone district, Giorgio Armani’s self-styled hotel serves as a bolthole for the international catwalk scene come fashion week. Expect the same level of high-end minimalism as you would from the clothing line, with floor-to-ceiling windows, rooms flooded with natural light, and a calming, modern palette of gray, powder blue, and pearl. The whole room is also iPad operated—curtains, lights, even room service. Come sundown, guests head to the Michelin-starred Armani/Ristorante for Italian plates with international influence, such as the lasagna with langoustines, baby squid sauce, and tomato confit. There’s also the adjacent Armani/Bamboo Bar, with postcard-worthy views across the city and to the Duomo, and a bespoke Milanese cocktail list (try the herb-infused Bosco Verticale). Top tip: Book a table on a Sunday evening for its live jazz sessions. Price: Rooms from around $1,272 per night Address: Armani Hotel, Via Alessandro Manzoni, 31, 20121 Milano MI, Italy"
