Four Seasons Hotel Milano ReviewMilan's top five-star deluxe hotel lies just off Via Montenapoleone, the city's swankiest shopping boulevard. Though lacking the antiques-drawn style of its competitor, the Grand Hotel et de Milan , it offers more luxuries. Its central core retains many touches, including the lovely garden-planted cloisters, rediscovered during the 7-year restructuring that by 1993 had turned this 1476 convent into a hotel (the frescoes in the lobby hint that this room was once the convent's church). Rooms are spacious, with thick rugs on modern parquet; designer chairs in comfy sitting areas, large marble-sheathed bathrooms with heated floors, and walk-in closets. "Superior" rooms are on the street (protected from noise by effective double-paned windows), with queen-size beds. "Executive" suites have a midsize sitting area and can be connected to deluxe doubles to form a family suite. Five bi-level suites on the ground floor of the cloisters have vaulted ceilings, mostly re-frescoed (though one bit of the original painting remains), with a split-level sitting area and bedroom and the bathroom underneath, all overlooking a neighbor's quiet grassy garden. A wing in a vecchia Milano house features a central courtyard; a balcony runs along every level, each of which contains five rooms and suites.

| 2 stars | Frommer's Very Highly Recommended | |
| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
