Where to Stay in Milan’s Chinatown: The Ultimate Guide

Where to Stay in Milan’s Chinatown: The Ultimate Guide

Via Paolo Sarpi in Milan’s Quartiere Cinese has become a distinct cultural and culinary melting pot – and here are our best 3 hotel picks within easy reach


B&B Hotel Milano – Cenisio Garibaldi

While the dining scene
in Milan’s Chinatown
offers plenty of choice, the situation for travellers looking for somewhere to stay in the neighbourhood is different. The best of the limited options is a cheap and cheerful room in this ultra-modern budget hotel, a short walk from Via Paolo Sarpi. Rooms are available from Euro70 (US$79) a night.


Rosa Grand Milano

A four-star hotel located in the heart of the Fashion District, overlooking Piazza Fontana and just a short walk from the Duomo and the Teatro alla Scala, the modern Rosa Grand’s main selling points are its location and city views. Rooms start from Euro470 (US$532).


Portrait Milano

For visitors preferring proper luxury, Italy’s fashion capital is home to hotels by Armani and Bulgari, but
the latest hotspot in town
is housed in a grandiose cloistered 15th century seminary and has been created by
the family of
couture shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo. Portrait Milano is in the heart of the Fashion District but is right by a stop for Bus 94, which whisks you straight to Chinatown. Double rooms begin at Euro1,100 (US$1,246).
