Beyond making great strides in the last twenty years in terms of hotels, residences, guesthouses and B&B, Milan remains a laboratory, a bustling construction site gearing up for a historic event like the Expo. A metropolis with a strong economic vocation, Milan was long and mistakenly considered primarily a destination for business and conference tourism; a label even agreed upon by those managing its affairs.
Only in recent years has there been a growing awareness that the city can become a 360-degree tourist destination, able to satisfy all types of visitors. Thus, alongside the opening of new museums, the revival of navigation on the Navigli, the increase of cultural events, the promotion of the South Milan Agricultural Park and other important initiatives, a network of accommodations has also been developed which, alongside the starred hotels for managers and conferences, features simpler, family-run hotels, welcoming guesthouses, bed & breakfast in private homes, some of which are also historic mansions and early 1900s Art Nouveau houses.
The result is that today in the Lombard capital the hospitality offer is more varied and diverse than ever, able to please every taste and budget.
