Enterprise Boutique Hotel & Spa ★★★★

Upon entering the Enterprise Hotel, you are met with a large, bright, Eastern-inspired lobby, with shades of orange and red. At times it feels almost like a museum or gallery, with its array of statues, bold floral paintings, and intricately carved Asian tables, chests and cabinets. The rooms are bright and contemporary, with a bold lime and cherry colour scheme. Tea and coffee facilities, air con and Wi-Fi ensure that it’s a room for the 21st century.

The location is ideal for visiting some of the city’s trendiest bars and hangouts, as well as top tourist sites, including La Triennale design museum, the impressive Arco della Pace, and the imposing Sforzesco Castle. And, no trip to the city is complete without a visit to the Duomo and Milan Cathedral. And after a busy day sightseeing, the hotel provides a variety of spaces to relax and indulge…

Spaces to unwind include: the Garden Bar, an oasis of Zen tranquillity on a summer afternoon or for evening drinks, the classy Privé Bar which is popular with locals and guests alike, and The Wine Cellar, which embodies everything you would image a classic Italian wine bar to be – terracotta tiles, vaulted arches, rows upon rows of oak wine caskets, and tables piled high with Italian cheeses, grapes and cured meat. The cellar also hosts blues and jazz evenings.

The hotel is also home to an excellent restaurant. Sophia’s entices with its red marble staircase, silver candlesticks and glossy fireplace, housed in a restored industrial building. It serves up modern Mediterranean dishes made from organic, regional Italian produce. As well as typical meat and fish dishes, it offers a range of vegetarian and gluten-free meals too. Even breakfast at the Enterprise, looks like it belongs on the catwalk – mountains of identical pieces of fresh fruit piled up alongside mouth-watering Italian buns, cakes and pastries.

A room at the Hotel Enterprise provides the ideal place from which to discover your Milan – whether chic and fashionable, ancient and historic or cutting edge and innovative.
