The 77-room Chateau Monfort is a high-end five pearl property located just outside Milan's center. Elegant, whimsical rooms and public spaces are designed with a fairytale theme -- think blue ombre paint, shiny curtains, and a heavy hand with floral wall stencils. Bathrooms are large and airy with white fixtures and deep soaking tubs. A wine bar, lobby bar, and gourmet restaurant are convenient, and the on-site spa is a definite perk with a grotto-style swimming pool. If staying closer to the center of Milan is important, try comparing rates at UNA Maison Milano.

The c-hotels Atlantic is a upper-middle-range chain hotel that delivers with solid features like free breakfast and Wi-Fi, clean and comfortable rooms, and perks like a fitness center (albeit a tiny one). The location isn't ideal for tourists who want to walk to the Duomo and high-end retail shops, but its right around the corner from Milan's Central Station and two underground stations, making it a convenient choice for budget-savvy travelers. Rooms were renovated in 2013 to include contemporary furniture and flat-screen TVs. There isn't an on-site restaurant, though there are several within walking distance of the hotel. Check rates at Best Western Plus Hotel Galles for an indoor pool and access to Corso Buenos Aires, one of the best shopping streets in Milan.

The NH Milano Touring is a modern, perfectly adequate upscale hotel just north of Milan's center. It won't win any design awards, but is clean, functional, and provides a comfortable -- albeit characterless -- place to stay within walking distance of two metro stops, though it's a bit of a trek to the Duomo Cathedral by foot. Rooms vary a lot in terms of decor and ambience, so ask for a renovated room or consider an upgrade. Breakfast is free and Pianoterra Bar and Restaurant get high marks for local specialties. Rates are pretty average for the area, so for somewhere with a little more character, check out the nearby Hotel Manin.

Few hotels are more self-consciously hip and funky than the four-pearl Nhow Milano. From the attention-grabbing über-modern interiors of the restaurant and lounge to the sparse industrial lobby and revolving art exhibition, every corner of the hotel oozes an artsy aesthetic. Minimalist yet comfortable rooms follow the design theme, although some feel a little cramped. Free Wi-Fi, breakfast, and access to the Turkish bath are nice freebies. The hotel is a bit pricey given its setting on the outskirts of Milan center, so if location is an issue, you can easily find somewhere more central for a similar price, like Hotel Spadari al Duomo, though you'll lose a few features.

Since the 1920s, the Principe Di Savoia has held an undisputed position as Milan's top luxury hotel. But global chains like the Four Seasons and the Park Hyatt have moved in on this grande dame's territory, offering a similar level of swank in a more central area of the city. Despite the competition, the five-star Principe still attracts its share of aristocracy and corporate bigwigs, for good reason. The classic decor features sumptuous fabrics and sophisticated color schemes, the indoor pool is attractive and large, and the Principe Bar is one of the city's top spots for a business meeting or after-work cocktail.

Four Seasons Hotel Milano is a luxurious and upscale five-pearl property in the heart of fashionable Milan. The hotel, built inside a 15th-century convent, is updated with every modern amenity and situated on private garden grounds offering all the quiet of the countryside; nonetheless, the venue is still within short walking distance of chic shops and art galleries. Classically decorated rooms have marble bathrooms and pretty views, but in some cases the furniture and decor looks a little bland. The gorgeous spa and attractive indoor pool with historical brick ceilings are property highlights.

Located in the Fiera Milano financial district, the Melia Milano hotel was built inside the Alemagna cake factory in 2001. This big hotel is a two-minute walk to the Lotto Fiera metro station -- central Milan is 20-minutes away by train. With over 200 rooms, service and space can feel a little impersonal, but the on-site restaurant, 24-hour fitness center, and meeting rooms are nice amenities. Most rooms have classic and elegant, if slightly generic, style; guests might be disappointed given the hotel's advertised five-star status. The daily breakfast buffet is a quality start to the day with excellent coffee, but only rewards members get perks like discounted parking and free Wi-Fi.
