Milan Hotel and Suggested Sights?

We stayed at Hotel Duca di York
Great location, 5 min walk to Duomo
10 min cab ride to Milan Cadorna to catch the Malpensa Express

If you want to see the Last Supper get your tickets as soon as your dates become available
The Duomo roof terraces are worth the climb (or use the elevator access)

We really wanted to visit the Monumental Cemetery but just didn’t have the time

I second the recommendation for Gran Duka di York.

When do tickets go on sale for the last supper?

@ Douglas: Currently the Last Supper Ticket dates extend to July 31. They opened the dates May 1-July 31 on March 14. If you are going after July31 I suggest you keep checking to see when things open for the next batch of dates.

3rd vote for Hotel Duca di York, lol (and I always want to type that Duca di Yorka!!). I stayed there for 2 nights last Fall and had stayed there 1 night a number of years ago. Very nice staff, lovely breakfast. I love the convenience of the location. If you want to go to see the Last Supper, check the above link for official tickets. I got the entry plus the guided tour offered by the museum itself and it was excellent. Also look at getting the Fast Pass ticket to the Duomo so you can take the elevator most of the way up to the roof. I've got a fear of heights but I was OK up there as there is quite a lot of room to stand back from the parapet.

I just looked at Hotel di York for my March 2024 stay. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids: 9/6). When I visited site and tried to add children, it only allows me to enter 1 child with max age of 2.

Would you say this is a kid friendly hotel or not? I’ve run across this a few times in other places, emailed the hotel, and the owners have replied back that they are not kid friendly.

jmarkey, I'm never sure what "kid-friendly" means, especially in this context. We stayed there once about 10 years ago, and I would have called the clientele to be mostly businesspeople, and a few tourist like us. I dont recall any features at the hotel that would be entertaining to children

Note that hotel regulations in many European countries prohibit the common American practice of cramming more people into a room than authorized. Safety rules and taxes limit what they can do. So you cant always expect them to just roll another bed into a three-bed room, for example.
