Château Monfort

Absolutely gorgeous and a spotlessly clean hotel. The lobby and common areas were glamorous and well appointed. Breakfast area and service were very well done|My only down side was we were in the Nutcracker room. Very whimsical and cute but only skylights. No windows to see out of and I don’t do well in closed in spaces. If you have any issues with claustrophobic feelings choose a room on a lower floor. Staff was gracious and professional. Great location.

Beautiful rooms, in a useful location close to the centre of Milan. Food at breakfast was excellent, with a wide choice of high quality. The Spa was an added bonus, a calming and relaxing place to spend time. Service throughout the hotel was friendly, efficient and warm - which made our stay extra special.

Superb service from everyone at the hotel, but will call out Lara and Matteo who helped us with reservations for The Last Supper and some small items we requested for our room. Their service was friendly, efficient and worthy of note. Thank you to them both.||The Spa was superb in the hotel a tranquil and relaxing place to spend time.

Nice 5-star hotel with a unique and somewhat whimsical, fairytale-like style. I stayed here for the second time recently, and while the decor can be a bit over the top, the overall experience is solid. The location isn’t right in the center, but it’s still fairly central and well-connected, making it convenient enough for exploring Milan without being in the middle of the crowds. Service is consistently good, and the staff are professional and helpful. The hotel has a spa, which is decent—not extraordinary, but a nice extra. I didn’t try the restaurant or breakfast, so I can’t comment on that part. One downside is the room layout, which can be a bit awkward, and the rooms themselves are on the smaller side—even the upgraded room we stayed in felt quite compact. Still, it’s quiet, clean, and offers a level of comfort and service that makes it a good option if you’re looking for a more affordable five-star stay in Milan. I’d recommend it for travelers who want a touch of luxury without the price tag of the city’s top-tier hotels.

Review – Château Monfort, Milan Ambience and Location: Château Monfort enjoys a very central location, about a twenty-minute walk from the Duomo, with a metro station conveniently situated right across from the main entrance – a clear advantage for exploring the city. The elegant building on Corso Concordia 1 stands directly next to the Opera San Francesco per i Poveri canteen, where long queues of people in need form daily, accompanied by a conspicuous police presence. The contrast between luxury and poverty is striking and thought-provoking. Room: We opted for an Executive Room upgrade, hoping for additional space, yet the room turned out to be noticeably smaller than expected – even by boutique-hotel standards. Approximately half of the area was occupied by the bed, shower, and bathroom, leaving very limited storage space. There was no bathtub, only an oversized glass shower offering virtually no privacy. While the design visually enlarges the space, it is less comfortable for guests travelling together – one constantly bumps into the other. The small third-floor balcony is too narrow to be of practical use. A clear reflection of the property’s philosophy: aesthetics take precedence over comfort. Everything is visually curated, but often at the expense of functionality. A curious contradiction in this approach is that the complimentary water is offered in plain Tetra Pak cartons rather than in glass bottles – a practical but visually inconsistent choice. A complimentary upgrade to a larger room was mentioned but never materialized. Overall, the room appeared attractive but lacked comfort – suitable perhaps for a solo traveller and a short stay rather than two guests over several days. Service: The staff were consistently friendly and attentive – particularly at reception and in the bar. Less pleasing was the housekeeping routine: after every cleaning, the furniture was reset precisely to its original position, regardless of how we had arranged it for our comfort. Bar and Atmosphere: The hotel bar is a genuine highlight – designed in a French Neo-Rococo or Louis XV style, reinterpreted through a modern boutique aesthetic. Visually stunning, though ergonomically challenging for guests with hip or back issues. The clientele consisted largely of younger visitors and typical “influencer” types, many of whom began recording themselves in the lobby upon arrival. The bartender deserves special mention: professional, attentive, and with an excellent sense for quality – his gin tonics were outstanding. Conclusion: The Château Monfort’s official website does not explicitly describe the property as a boutique hotel – an omission that might help manage expectations regarding room size and functionality. In summary, this is a stylish and charming property that places great emphasis on visual design while clearly prioritising aesthetics over comfort. Ideal for design-conscious travellers and short city stays; less suited for longer visits, couples, or guests who value space and privacy – despite its undeniable charm and excellent location.

Beautiful hotel with great amenities. We loved the first floor terrace. The location was perfect for shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. It was a short 10-minute walk to Duomo’s palace. Easy public parking two blocks away. Great spot!

We had a truly wonderful stay – the hotel is absolutely beautiful, and the staff were kind and welcoming. It really felt like staying in a castle. The breakfast was probably the best I’ve ever had at a hotel – high-quality ingredients, a great selection, and proper coffee (no machine!), which I truly appreciated. The bed was extremely comfortable, the room was quiet and perfectly dark at night, so we slept really well. We also loved the elegant details like the bidet and the twice-daily housekeeping – everything was clean, calm, and carefully thought out. Thank you for creating such a magical and relaxing experience – we would love to come back!

This hotel was incredibly fancy and high-end — perfect for anyone who enjoys a luxury experience. The rooms were small but beautifully designed and very comfortable, with a bathroom that was elegant and high-end. The staff were exceptional — warm, professional, and genuinely kind. A special mention goes to Siad, our favourite staff member, who made our mornings at breakfast extra special. The receptionist was also fantastic and very welcoming. The location was ideal, close to great shops and restaurants. Highly recommend for a stylish and memorable stay.

I can't express enough how fabulous this hotel is. From the staff to the property itself, it's all amazing. It's like staying inside of a castle. Close to all the luxury shopping, including Via Montenapoleone as well as fine dining. I was able to have my room upgraded to one of the junior suites with a circular bed and it was superb. They also use Diptyque for all of their body care products. While I waited for my driver to pick me up on my last day, I ordered the Barbie cocktail at the bar and it was the prettiest and tastiest drink ever. I can't wait to stay there again on my next trip to Milan.

Great for couples or yourself. The hotel is located near transit lines and can be in walking distance of many restaurants and shops. They have a wonderful Turkish spa that is great And a great breakfast if you opt for it There are stores walking distance and on the weekdays there's a micro farmers market on the next corner to check out. Milano is similar to any gentrified neighborhood with its graffiti but expensive clothing shops. But the food is decent. As you'll find a good deal on food going out. And if your not form Italy. McDonald's is difftent but avoid the pannarozeti( yes I misspelled it ) Staff is awesome and welcoming.

My husband and I didn't even realize this was a Relais & Chateaux property until we arrived. These folks do not have a bad boutique hotel, and Chateau Monfort was no exception. A magical delight. On our flight home from Europe we were going over our fave meals, drinks, sites, and I blurted out "The sleep at Chateau Monfort was the best sleep of the trip!". We both laughed at the ridiculousness of being super pleased with a hotel sleep, but hell, it was an incredible snooze. The hotel is about 15 minutes walking to the duomo, some cute nabes and all of the high-end shopping your credit card can handle. It has beautiful, fairytale inspired rooms, the nicest staff ever, a huge spa and two restaurants. Yes, it is a bit pricy, but there are often deals on expedia.com, etc, and it's oh-so worth it.

Very nice hotel, which is what I expect from a Relais & Chateaux designated property. Located a bit off the beaten path but in a nice neighborhood within a 15-20 minute walk to most places you will visit within Milan and/or accessible by tram, which stops directly across the street from the hotel. I requested and received the Hibiscus room which was uniquely and tastefully furnished along with modern comforts such as rain shower and LCD TV. Very small but functional gym and spa on site. Did not eat or drink at the hotel but they have a beautiful restaurant area along with a very helpful front desk staff. Free wifi and they even have a remote wifi box you can carry with you when you explore the city.

Absolutely special! I loved the idea of a variety of designs for the rooms and the suites! I stayed in a suite which is so amazing and so romantic then I wanted to try the butterfly room and it has its special touch! The hotel has one of the best spas in Milano! The stuff were so nice and friendly. The hotel not that big but it has a very chic and elegant mysterious experience

So we booked a twin room to stay for four days which is not cheap to establish that we have been given a double. Stated that they will separate the beds tonight which was not a great start after the journey was looking forward to showering and freshening up but the shower is very poor and has little pressure. To use the Spa you also have to pay addition fee of €30 which baffles me as I understand if it was a treatment but to use the swimming pool. :/ and overall I think that it is over rated as there are Marks on walls, tiny rooms, little closet space and over priced. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the service is outstanding but the above makes me rate it 4.5* not 5* the hotel itself is beautifully designed and the interior is pretty which is shown in the photos.

I cannot day enough good things about this hotel! We happened to stumble across this gem of a hotel on a British Airways package deal. Everything from the ambiance of the hotel to the staff was impeccable! Upon arrival you are given a welcome drink and biscuits. We were upgrade to a suite with a terrace and were so pleased with the room. I will be staying here again and it is a hotel where you are treated like royalty! It is not a place where there are numerous rooms so you are taken care of quite well. We are already awaiting our next trip and will be staying here again without a doubt!

This place was crazy awesome. The staff were great. The rooms were super clean and the room service was fantastic. Beyond cleaning, they'd also leave a fact sheet indicating the weather for the next day. It was crazy good. The rooms were super fun. I've stayed in some modern hip hotels, some historic / grand hotels, and the various Vegas strip hotels in the United States. This hotel was the best hotel I've ever stayed at ever. The location was great. You're close to the train station, you're right on the tram line, and you're close to the city center.

My Husband and I stayed here for our anniversary trip! We did tons of research before finalizing this hotel. Upon arrival, the staff was very welcoming and sweet :) Throughout our stay, the staff was generous, kind and helpful! With that said, we did run into a few issues but management went above and beyond for us to make things right. My Husband and I were impressed with management's interest in our concerns and the eagerness to resolve those concerns to our full satisfaction. Honestly, in a city as commercialized as Milan, we were absolutely stunned to come across this gem of a hotel where guest experience is above all else. They really take an interest in your stay and satisfaction. Aside form their stellar service, the hotel is also centrally located (close to attractions, shopping and public transportation). I definitely recommend this hotel!

Great touches in the details of this hotel. We came over Easter weekend and got to choose a bunny that gave use 30% off a spa treatment. The room was pretty, clean and well appointed with nice toiletries and comfy robes. Service was great and we even got a special Lindt bunny on the eve of Easter.

Stefano, the GM was excellent. Patient, knowledgeable, resourceful and helpful. Martina and Alberto were also exceptional. About 10 minute walk to Center of city. Not an issue as it was good exercise walking off all the calories we ate! Small rooms but had everything you needed. For some odd reason, the closet light didn't work so they tried to repair it for two days but without any success.

We stayed there a couple of years ago. It's divine. I could live in the spa and pool.

Gorgeous Hotel, Gorgeous rooms, Pleasant service! I stayed here with my mother and we were both pleasantly surprised by the room and decor. The location of the hotel is also a plus! The only reason why this is getting 4 stars is because they could improve the somewhat stuffy service at the front desk and the constant insistence I received for one of them to help me with my small luggage case. (I wanted them to help my mom with her case but not mine as it was super manageable...but the insistence was extremely annoying). All in all, the service was pleasant but not friendly so it's a 4 star in total. Might return if I'm back in Milan.

Stayed here on our first stop of our European honeymoon. The rooms have a great vibe. The staff is very friendly. They helped us book our train tickets to Florence. Location is pretty great (about a 15 minute walk to Central Milan and the Duomo).
