The upscale Room Mate Giulia attracts travelers with an eye for design with its hip and stylish retro-modern interiors. Location is prime, being situated around the corner from the Duomo, next to the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and surrounded by dining options. The 85 stylish guest rooms are stocked with mod cons like flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi (some add Nespresso machines), and have trendy bathrooms with rainfall showerheads and fun toiletry sets. Features are limited to a small spa area with a sauna and steam room, a small fitness room with a handful of TechnoGym machines, and an inviting breakfast room that serves a buffet until noon (for a fee). For a free breakfast with Prosecco and a full restaurant, check out Nhow Milano, though its location is not as central.

This five-pearl perfume-factory-turned-hotel is one of the top boutique hotels in Milan. It's far from the city center, but its location in a trendy design district seems appropriate for its fashionable vibe. The 39 chic rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, and electronic wall panels that control the temperature. On-site features are what’s expected of a luxury boutique hotel: a stylish Italian restaurant and bar, a rooftop and garden terrace, and a modern (though small) gym and spa with massages available. But the open-air lobby might be too cold in the winters for some. Travelers may want to compare rates with the Boscolo Milano, which has an indoor pool, a larger spa, and bolder, more colorful interior design.

Within walking distance of the Milan Cathedral, Opera House, and the Via Montenapoleone shopping district, the upper-middle-range Cavour Hotel is well situated for any tourist who wants to stroll to the sight. While many of the 125 rooms have been recently refurbished, some guests complain about dated furnishings. Potential guests should consider booking an Executive Double Room or Romantic Double Room, which have more contemporary furnishings than the Classic Double or Suite. Features include free breakfast and meeting space for up to 100 people. Travelers interested in staying in the area may want to consider the NH Collection Milano President, which has similar amenities and more updated furnishings at slightly higher room rates.

This small, 66-room hotel in northwest Milan has a bit more color than the average business hotel. Rooms are spacious and sophisticated, but some get street noise. Convenient for trade shows, it’s a short walk to both the Fiera Milano City exhibition center and MiCo Milano Congressi, Milan’s new convention center. The breakfast room has panoramic views of the city and mountains, but though there is a stylish wine bar, there’s no proper restaurant and the gym is small. It’s ideal for business travelers and trade show attendees, but not as convenient for tourists.

Sleek, understated luxury is the concept behind the five-pearl Armani Hotel Milano. Located across from one of the world's premiere shopping areas, this 95-room hotel delivers a high-end, boutique experience, providing everything from an indoor pool with city views to a slick restaurant, bar, spa, and fitness center. Guests who have shopped the fashion designer's clothing and home furnishings stores will feel like the hotel is an extension of the Giorgio Armani brand, one that uses expensive materials with a restrained hand. Rooms are spacious and decorated in cool gray hues; contemporary bathrooms have soaking tubs and separate walk-in showers. For another luxury Milan property that exemplifies a fashion brand, visitors could try the Bulgari Milano, whose restaurant overlooks the courtyard of a former monastery.

Located within a five-minute walk to Gambara Metro station, Hotel Edy is a decent value option for guests who don't mind being a bit outside the center of Milan. The hotel has 13 clean rooms with quirky, homey decor like quotes and colorful pictures on the walls. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and electric kettles with tea. However, bathroom facilities are dated -- while some have en-suite bathrooms, others have shared toilets plus in-room showers and bidets (yikes!). There aren’t really any common areas and breakfast is not served. It's hard to beat the rates at Hotel Edy, but exceptions are out there -- Hotel San Francisco offers a free breakfast and a location within a 10-minute walk of Corso Buenos Aires, one of Milan's major shopping streets.

For a romantic stay in Milan, the three-pearl, 33-room Gran Duca di York is a solid bet. This boutique hotel is full of Old World charm and is only a five-minute walk from the famous Duomo. A collection of fresco artwork hangs in the lobby, giving it a bit of local character, and the pleasant, modern rooms all come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and en-suite bathrooms. A valet overnight parking service is available, though it's expensive. Guests are entitled to a free breakfast with a good selection of hot and cold options, but features are otherwise slim. Traveler's seeking city views from a rooftop terrace as well as a restaurant might consider the nearby Santa Marta Suites instead, though it's pricier.

Housed in a 19th-century building, the 16-room Hotel Panizza is a mid-range property that mixes beaux arts architecture with an updated interior. Its bright rooms have nice wooden floors, contemporary furniture, firm beds, and free Wi-Fi; some have furnished terraces or step-out balconies. The property offers a free buffet breakfast in a simple, charming breakfast room. But the hotel's location in the residential Magenta neighborhood means reaching Milan's city center requires a short ride on public transport; the nearest metro station is a two-minute walk away. As an alternative, the nearby Hotel Navigli is in a trendier part of town and has more updated furnishings, but it also has a higher room rate.

This modern hotel -- built in 2011 -- has a creative, whimsical design, filled with funky decor in eye-popping colors. The 280 rooms are similarly stylish, though open bathrooms provide little privacy. Part of the international Barcelo chain, it’s 25 minutes outside the center of Milan, but is convenient to the Expo Milano 2015, to which the hotel runs a free shuttle. Features include a spa with an indoor pool attached to a hot tub by a small slide. The hotel’s Tondo Restaurant -- a grill and pizzeria -- stays open late, which is handy as there’s not much around the hotel. Business travelers who want to be closer to the Fiera Milano City exhibition center can try the Antares Hotel Accademia, which has lower rates, but isn’t quite so stylish.
