Located in the heart of the Brera district, the Hotel Milano Scala, as its name might suggest, is intimately connected, design-wise at least, with the incredibly famous Teatro alla Scala. Each of its 62 rooms, many of which overlook the Via dell’Orso from their jasmine-clad balconies, are not only warm and welcoming, but are decorated with images found in the historical archives of the La Scala, which, incidentally, you can find just a five minute walk away from the hotel, along with the Duomo and Via Montenapoleone. The arts theme even continues into breakfast, where classical music will likely form the backdrop to your meal.

Hotel Milano Scala’s rooms and suites are located on the first seven floors, but a trip up to the 8th promises (and most certainly delivers) a stunning panoramic terrace with wrap around views of the whole city, as well as the profile of the Lombardy Alps. Combine all this with the elegant lounge, restaurant, bar and library, and you’ve got yourself one stylish, yet richly historic, place to spend your nights in Milan.
