Hotel Principe di Savoia

What the classifiers highlight

For nearly a century this neoclassical Dorchester Collection hotel on Piazza della Repubblica has set Milan's benchmark, its 257 rooms and 44 suites done in fin-de-siècle velvet and damask over antique wood and marble. Forbes counts four stars. The rooftop spa and a ten-minute run to Via Monte Napoleone keep it a Fashion Week favorite.
