"Best Milan hotel for: refined elegance Housed in a 15th-century convent, Four Seasons Milano exhales a peaceful serenity, with a cloistered courtyard adorned with laurels and box trees. The location can’t be beaten—step outside and you’re on Via Gesù in the heart of Milan’s Fashion District. Original features have been beautifully preserved, including stone carvings, stucco ceilings and frescoes. The décor is classically elegant, with rich Fortuny fabrics, burl and pearwood cabinets, and Carrara marble bathrooms. There’s a beautiful spa in the convent’s former cellar, with a swimming pool where you can do a few laps beneath elegant, vaulted ceilings. Top tip: On Sundays, the hotel hosts a popular brunch, with sweet treats laid out in the Chocolate Room, a room entirely coated in 661 pounds of chocolate. Price: Rooms from around $1,345 per night Address: Four Seasons Milano, Via Gesù 6-8, 20121 Milan, Italy"
