Where to stay in Milan

Two of us are traveling from Bari to Milan early Oct. 2024. We are looking for a hotel for 2nights where we could walk or be near the sights of Milan. So appreciate my Rick Steves travelers recommendations. Thanks so much.

I've twice stayed at the Hotel Gran Duca di York which is about 5 minutes from the Duomo, literally across the street from the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana if you are doing this museum, and a 30-minute walk to the Last Supper. The last time was Oct 2022.

There are plenty of restaurants in the area. The hotel breakfast buffet is wonderful and the staff warm and welcoming. You don't mention a price range so this may or may not work for you. It is not near the Central train station.

We stayed one night at Hotel Bagliori last May. It was a 10 minute walk from Central Station, clean and comfortable. We walked from there to the Duomo and back and used bike share to get to Sforza Castle. There was a Metro station about 5 minutes away as well.

It's a very different atmosphere and price point from the Hotel New York, but it was perfect for what we needed (a good place to sleep on our one arrival night).
