Beyond having made giant strides over the past twenty years in terms of hotels, residences, guesthouses, and B&B, Milan remains a laboratory, a bustling construction site in view of an epochal event like the Expo. A metropolis with a strong economic vocation, Milan was long and wrongly considered a destination primarily for congress and business tourism; a label that even those who governed its fate agreed on.
Only in recent years has there finally been awareness that the city can become a 360-degree tourist destination, able to satisfy all kinds of audiences. Thus, alongside the opening of new museums, the relaunch of navigation on the Navigli, the intensification of cultural events, the promotion of the South Milan Agricultural Park, and other important initiatives, a network of hospitality structures has also been developed that, alongside the star-rated hotels for managers and congresses, includes simpler and more family-oriented hotels, welcoming guesthouses, bed&breakfasts in private homes, some of which are also historic residences and early 20th-century liberty-style houses.
The result is that today, in the Lombard capital, the hospitality offer is as varied and diversified as ever, able to satisfy all tastes and budgets.
