Detailed Review
Within the golden district, close to the Duomo Cathedral, La Scala Opera house and the fashionable shopping area of Via Montenapoleone, this location is unique. Each of the 109 rooms and suites is completely renovated, featuring the most modern amenities. The completely restyled restaurant “L’Opera” serves delicious Mediterranean cuisine , while the “ Champagnerie” and the “Visconteo” bar are Milano’s popular meeting spots. 105 rooms and 4 suites provided with 2 phone lines and voice messaging, safety box, satellite TV, Sky TV, Data port, Wi-fi. For the health of body and the soul, guests can benefit from the fully equipped fitness club and from the new panoramic rooftop outdoor swimming pool overlooking the Duomo spires. The glass covered pool, with underwater music, relaxing hydro-massage and teak-sundeck above Milano’s roofs are a real unique experience.

"Old-world charm, albeit with some oddities of maintenance and service, near the Duomo"
Come for the de la Ville’s distinctly old-world air, its cheerfully professional service and the views of Duomo's Madonnina from its little rooftop pool.
Hotel de la Ville
By The TI Review Team
With a fabulous location between Piazza del Duomo, La Scala and Via Montenapoleone, Hotel de la Ville is an exceptionally charming place to stay. Looking back across the centuries, guest rooms are decked out with Italian marble and sumptuous English Regency fabrics, and many have enormous private terraces overlooking the historic centre of Milan. Despite the period styling, facilities are thoroughly modern, with wi-fi and Internet access points (payment required) throughout the hotel.
The hotel's most striking feature is the heated rooftop swimming pool, with a sundeck surrounded by climbing vines and a solarium looking across to the Madonnina on top of the Duomo. Guests at the Hotel de la Ville (and its sister hotel, The Gray) have free use of the hotel fitness centre, with its Jacuzzi, Turkish baths and massage rooms. Other amenities include the Il Visconteo cocktail bar, a popular meeting place for Milanese high society, and the cosy LOpera restaurant, a favourite for local business meetings. Above L'Opera is the Oyster Bar, which seats about 20 and can be rented privately for guests who desire a more intimate setting.
