Milan's hotel map is simple: near the Duomo for glamour and shopping, around Brera for boutique charm, by the station for convenience, and the Navigli for nightlife.
The golden triangle of Duomo, Brera and the fashion streets holds the city's most beautiful addresses; the neighborhood around Milano Centrale offers sensible mid-range options; the Navigli and Isola districts trade a short metro hop for real Milanese life.
