Situated in the centro storico, or cultural heart, of Milan, this 18th century building is tucked down a little side street between the Castle and the Duomo. The centro storico is home to some of Milan's awesome sights, the Gothic white marble Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II (a 19th century shopping arcade), the peerless opera house, Teatro alla Scalla and numerous important galleries and museums.
The hotel is a short walk from the quadrilatero d'oro, 4 streets named for their dense concentration of designer fashion stores - the world's highest apparently. Bound within the equivalent of 4 Bond Street's are hundreds of boutiques from the world's most powerful fashion houses, alongside some chic cafes, restaurants and bars for essential refuelling.
