One of the best addresses in Milan, the Four Seasons sits within a 15th-century convent wrapped around a delightful colonnaded garden. Original frescoes, painted ceilings and Carrara marble bathrooms are par for the course, and the spa is located in an ancient wine cellar. Even dogs are treated like kings here, with dog-sitting services and canine menus available.
As with all Four Seasons properties, children are treated like royalty with welcome kits, mini robes and slippers, and a children's entertainer during Sunday brunch. Babysitting can be organised and the hotel will provide cots, bottle warmers and complimentary milk and chocolate at bedtime.
