Bottom Line

This chic, upscale boutique hotel offers sleek and minimalist interiors in a convenient central location a block away from Via Spiga's shopping and within a 15-minute walk of the Duomo. The 43 all-white guest rooms are fitted out with mod cons like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and high-speed Wi-Fi, plus some have private terraces. Junior Suites add perks like Nespresso machines and whirlpool tubs. The hotel has an inviting cafe/bar made up of several stylish spaces and a charming garden patio. It serves food all day, including aperitivo (to stimulate the appetite) and free breakfast. For an alternative, the nearby Baglioni Hotel Carlton has a spa and fine-dining restaurant, but rates are more expensive.

Senato Hotel Milano

Scene

Chic and sleek boutique hotel

Set in a Neoclassical-style residential palazzo, its white facade garnished with vine-covered balconies, this upscale boutique hotel is a sleek and modern affair with chic, spare decor. Green and white striped marble floors in the lobby are complemented by stylish gold seating and a cluster of leafy potted plants. Large arched windows and vaulted ceilings add character and make the space feel bright and airy. The bar is done up in white and brass. Potted succulents and other greenery, as well as funky lighting truly catches the eye. The adjacent breakfast room adds pops of blue courtesy of tabletops in an all-white space. Some other highlights here are the hotel's outdoor spaces: there's a lush garden that teems with ivy and vines, as well as more seating amid greenery on the rooftop terrace. Both spaces offer a green oasis to relax in that's welcome in this bustling city. Overall, the hotel is a great choice for a city stay and it attracts tourists seeking to explore Milan, as well as drawing plenty of business travelers.

Location

Convenient and central location close to prime shopping

The hotel is situated on the street that it's named after, in a convenient, central location. There are a couple of art galleries neighboring the property and plenty of shopping nearby. Via Spiga, one off Milan's top shopping streets is just a block away, and Via Monte Napoleone, which is lined with upscale designer shops and is a six-minute walk from the hotel. The Duomo is about a 15-minute walk away, or eight minutes via metro (the nearest stop is a four-minute walk from the hotel), while Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the world's oldest shopping mall, is an 11-minute walk away. Other top attractions include the Teatro alla Scala (10-minute walk), Pinacoteca di Brera (11-minute walk), Royal Palace of Milan (16-minute walk), and Sforza Castle (12 minutes by public transport, or 20-minute walk).

Milan's central train station is an 11-minute subway ride away. Malpensa Airport is 40 minutes to an hour away by car, or a bit over an hour by public transit. Other area airports include Linate (15- to 25-minute drive or 35 minutes via public transportation) and Bergamo (40- to 65-minute drive, or an hour and 40 minutes via public transportation).

Rooms

Chic, minimalist rooms with white marble bathrooms; some have terraces

Rooms feature minimalist decor that can feel a bit spare, but is chic. Clad nearly all in white except for wooden herringbone floors and brass lamps suspended over the beds, the spaces are bright and pristine. Beds are flanked by brass cylindrical nightstands, while black velvet chairs offer seating. Large windows let in lots of natural light. Some rooms have private terraces with greenery and seating. All rooms are furnished with desks, as well as mod cons like flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, minibars, electronic safes, and free high-speed Wi-Fi. Junior Suites add Nespresso machines and sitting areas. Sleek and modern white Carrara marble bathrooms have walk-in showers or shower/tub combos (whirlpool tubs in Junior Suites), as well as providing hairdryers and toiletries.

Features

Cafe/bar with several dining spaces including garden patio; free breakfast; inviting rooftop terrace; fitness room

For a relatively small city hotel, the Senato offers a great set of features. There are lovely outdoor spaces to relax in, including a lush garden teeming with greenery, as well as an inviting rooftop terrace that has plenty of seating. Other common areas that guests can lounge in include the Senato Caffè, which encompasses several different spaces: a chic living room-like space with a projector for screening movies, a main cafe/bar area, and the garden patio that's heated in the winter. Functioning like a classic Italian cafe, it serves food and drinks all day, as well as hosting an aperitivo. Breakfast is included in rates and ingredients are sourced locally. Room service is available 24/7. Other amenities include a modern fitness room with a couple of Technogym cardio machines  and some weights, as well as free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property.
