“With its location near Milan's exhibition centre, the Chedi appeals mainly to a business crowd, but it is only a 20-minute train ride from the Duomo and is cheaper than some of the more central up-market choices. The Asian-inspired interiors make a refreshing change from the city’s more design-led hotels. Minimalism is combined with Indochinese elements in the rooms and the overall end result is warm and welcoming. Thai and Indian dishes are on offer in the restaurant and eastern treatments are available in the spa. There’s a pool too.”
