Tivoli President Milano Hotel
This was the perfect place to stay in Milan over Easter. Easy to get to lots of locations without being too central and noisy. We loved it! The beds are really comfortable and the reception is beautiful. Wonderful Aperitivo at the hotel bar.

Hotel Brunelleschi
Great location, but the hotel definitely needs a good upgrade and some remodeling. It's just a short walk to the dome, which is definitely a plus.
