Such an oasis. After seeing a few reviews that had negative things to say about C-Hotel, my wife and I were certainly wondering what our experience would be like. We originally had booked The Westin in Milan, and changed to the C-Hotel for a number of reasons. And I can assure you, it was absolutely the right choice.
The staff are absolutely wonderful. We were welcomed and have felt like family ever since we checked in. The room is amazing, and even though we didn't use the pool we have, it was an excellent source of calm. The shower is excellent...the bed is clean and comfortable...and every time the room is made up, we have a little gift left with a lovely card from the hotel team.
Our dinner here was superb, with the best risotto my wife and I have ever had. Of the four nights we are here, we are choosing to eat in the hotel 2 of the 4 nights.
The day starts with an excellent breakfast, with more choices than you can possibly sample. And with it being attached to a cafe (with the best gelato you will ever have, also!), the baking is over the top and the attention to detail as good as it gets.
We have used the gym 3 of the 4 days, and it lives up to the rest of our experience. Huge windows with doors that open to a courtyard and allow for fresh air to come in. TechnoGym equipment is what you'd expect, and it's what they have.
Our stay has felt like a personal high end spot. We have only seen a few other guests, so it makes it even more special to feel like we are the only ones they are looking after!
C-Hotel and Spa is simply fabulous. It deserves and should get 5 stars out of 5.
If you come here and expect it to be in the center of Milan...it's not. If you come here and expect it to be next to Lake Como...it's not. If you come here and expect it to be your typical chain hotel...nope. You do need a car. You do need to know it's an unusual spot for a hotel like this. You do need to know it's quiet.
But get in your car and explore Como; Bergamo; Varese; Brescia; Milan...they are close, and then return to a calm oasis.
We will stay here again...and since this is our last night here before moving on in our vacation journey, we are truly looking forward to an incredible dinner on our last night!
Thank you to C-Hotel for an amazing surprise and experience!
Grazie Mille!
