In an excellent location
within a five-minute walk of Milan’s Central Station, Andreola Hotel is a good
option for travelers who want to be near public transportation. The hotel has an old-fashioned feel with some over-the-top room decor -- think pink suites with silvery curtains and bedding -- that can feel more stuffy and dated than elegant and upscale. The
84 spacious rooms have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but some rooms have small
stand-up showers. There’s a lobby bar and a restaurant on-site with city views. The hotel also provides a free breakfast with cold cuts, fruit, and pastries.
Scene
Historic hotel with old-fashioned, formal (verging on dated and stuffy) decor
Before guests enter the lobby,
the combination of the crown design in the marble sidewalk, the topiary trees,
and the stone fountain all hint at the formal vibe of the Andreola Hotel. Past the revolving door, the lobby has more formal
furnishings including marble columns, a classic, wooden front desk, and fancy
seating areas. In the past, the hotel has hosted notable guests including
Fausto Coppi, the bicycle champion, and Boxer Primo Carnera. The breakfast
buffet is served in a classic room with floor-length curtains and checkered
floors, and the sixth-floor restaurant, Stradivari, is an elegant space with
views of the city.
Location
Near Central Station and a popular shopping area
Andreola
Hotel has an excellent location within a five-minute walk to Central Station. The station is served by the metro, airport trains, and high-speed trains to Naples
and Venice. It’s also a short walk to Milan’s main shopping
street, Corso Buenos Aires, and there are several restaurants nearby. It’s around
a 15-minute trip on public transportation to the Duomo. Malpensa Airport is within a 45-minute drive, and Linate Airport is under a 20-minute drive.
Rooms
Spacious, old-fashioned rooms -- some with city views
Rooms
at Andreola Hotel have the same old-fashioned feel as the rest of the hotel with furnishings like floor-length curtains, patterned carpeting, and chair rails. There are a range of color schemes including pale pinks and yellows and royal blue. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and minibars. Some rooms offer
views of the city. Bathrooms have thoughtful touches like heated towel racks,
makeup mirrors, and slippers, though some bathrooms have small stand-up
showers. The flowery decor in the suites -- picture gilded furniture and shimmery bedspreads -- is a bit reminiscent of a dollhouse, and might be
a bit too feminine or stuffy for some guests.
Features
Free breakfast buffet, restaurant with city views, and lobby bar with street views
Andreola Hotel serves a breakfast buffet including
cold cuts, pastries, and fruits. There’s a lobby bar with a big window looking
out on the street, and the restaurant on-site serves regional and international
cuisine and offers panoramic views. Four
meeting rooms are available for private events accommodating up to 100 guests,
including one room with vaulted brick ceilings, and the hotel has an internet
corner with one computer. There's no spa or gym.
