Located outside the city center in Milan's business district, the four-pearl Doubletree by Hilton Milan is near the Milan Exhibition Center. Geared toward business travelers, the hotel offers plenty of meeting and event space, a business center, a restaurant and bar, a fitness center, and free shuttle service to a metro station and shuttle-bus stop, which can whisk guests to the Piazza del Duomo in about 45 minutes. Its 240 rooms are spacious with chic decor, and include flat-screen
TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Suites come with separate living and dining areas. The location can feel a bit deserted at night -- some guests found it sketchy -- and travelers might want to compare rates with the more centrally located Crowne Plaza Hotel Milan City.
Scene
Business hotel with a sleek, modern design
The Doubletree by Hilton Milan is housed in a blocky U-shaped building that combines glass
and wood paneling, making for an odd structure on a less-than-picturesque-street
in Milan's business district. But once inside, guests find themselves engulfed in the
hotel's contemporary sleek style, full of rich browns, polished white floors, and
sharp-angled minimalist decor. This includes a shiny white front desk, plenty
of spacious seating on leather couches, snazzy hanging lamps, black-and-white
photographs, and a corner of lovely paintings on display. The whole vibe is
slick, professional, and airy, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. This style is
found throughout the hotel, especially in the well-lit Glass Restaurant and Bar, which has wooden floors, dark wooden tables, and opaque drapes. The hotel primarily draws business travelers, who can be seen congregating in the bar
between meetings.
Location
In the business district and outside the city center
Located
in the business district of Viale Certosa with a few restaurants on nearby streets, the hotel is far from the main
attractions, but it offers free shuttle service to and from the Malpensa shuttle bus stop and Certosa metro station. It’s
about a 25-minute drive, or a 40-minute ride on public transportation, to central Milan. There’s a tram stop within a two-minute walk of the hotel. The hotel is a 10-minute drive to the MiCo Milani Congressi, an exhibition center. It takes 11
minutes to reach the Fiera Milano, a large fairground that hosts exhibits. The
San Siro Stadium, a football stadium, is an 11-minute drive from the hotel. It’s a 37-minute drive to Malpensa
Airport. Though the area around the hotel is generally safe during the day, some guests have said they found it a bit sketchy at night.
Rooms
Chic rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and spacious bathrooms
All 240 rooms at the Doubletree
by Hilton Milan feature chic decor continuing the look of the
hotel's public spaces. Rooms have brown carpet and cream walls and accents, with furniture that alternates between light-colored wood and white paneling,
creating a relaxing spa-like vibe. Black-and-white photographs of Milan next to the beds add a stylish touch. All rooms include free standard
Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, minibars -- with bottled water -- desks that meld into stands for the 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Suites have separate living areas with couches. Bathrooms have sleek
white-and-gray tile design, with deep tubs in the shower/tub combos. Small details like
large sinks, wooden counters, Aroma Actives toiletries, magnifying mirrors, robes, towel
warmers, and hairdryers are what take these bathrooms beyond average.
Features
Meeting spaces, business center, restaurant, bar, and a fitness center
Advertised as a business hotel, the Doubletree by
Hilton Milan has 11 meeting spaces, which can accommodate up to 50 people. Audio-visual
equipment must be rented. With wall-to-wall windows, these rooms have natural lighting and views of the city. There’s a
business center and free standard Wi-Fi, though high-speed Wi-Fi comes with a fee. The hotel’s on-site restaurants include the trendy Glass
Restaurant and Bar, which serves a breakfast buffet (for a fee with standard rates), lunch, and
dinner, and offers room service. Meals are also served on the outdoor patio among the funky colorful
couches made of plush fabric or woven metal. The fitness center has cardio
machines with TVs, weight benches, medicine balls, and free weights. The on-site garage offers self-parking for a fee.
