The Fashion district in Milano is something you can’t miss it.
The elegant and genteel Via Montenapoleone, Via Manzoni, Via Sant’Andrea and Via della Spiga form the famous quadrilatero d’oro in the northeast of the city with the highest concentration of haute couture labels, including Valentino, Armani, Versace, Gucci, Dolce & Gabanna, Prada, Moschino, Chanel, Gianfranco Ferrè, Dior, Emilio Pucci and Hermès.
There are also some exclusive Hotels and Spa in this area as you can see in our map.
In particular the Hotel Bulgari where you can relax yourself in a nice SPA, or the historical Grand Hotel. Both could be a right choose if you look for a quite area. With the Hotel Exedra you are in the middle between Duomo and the Fashion District. Both area are at walkable distance.
If you love to have an HOTEL in the heart of the Fashion District go to the The Westin Hotel. On the other hands, some blocks to the upper east there is the Hotel Carlton Baglioni in a quite area too. Finally, if you prefer to choose an Hotel near the Duomo, there is a easy subway access from Duomo to the Fashion District.
Try to avoid the car or cab, sometime Milano is a nightmare!
Very few cities in the world have the number of designers that Milan does. Not content with just having a famous fashion house, some of these designers have also opened hotels, restaurants, bars, cafés, clubs, modern art centres and even theatres, to which the elegant Milanese flock for an aperitif – strongly suggested – or the opening night of an exhibition.
As well as the boutiques, there are the vast neoclassical aristocratic residences, such as the Palazzo Melzi di Cusano or other palaces with porticoed courtyards. Equally worth a visit are the Poldi Pezzoli and Bagatti Valsecchi museums, as well as the neighbouring Archi di Porta Nuova, the gateway that was once part of the Roman walls (one of the two remaining ones), or losing yourself in the interior gardens of the sumptuous Via Manzoni.
The quadrilatero (Fashion District) is the shopping area par excellence, although there are many other more affordable places for visitors, which even so have not lost any of their charm, such as Avenida Buenos Aires (with over 300 shops), or Torino or Vercelli streets.
In this shopping streets you will be able to find the most trendy boutique, especially for girls or young women until 40. However, if you are in Milano for high couture or pret a porter from famous firm, the only right place is the Fashion District.
