12 best Milan hotels with Duomo views 

The Italian city of Milan, and its incredible cathedral (Duomo di Milano), draw in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.

Holding the title of the largest church in Italy the cathedral deserves every iota of attention. 

And what better way to make your trip to Milan more memorable than by waking up to a Duomo view.  

In this post, I'll be sharing 12 of the best Milan hotels with Duomo views.  

While some offer a direct view from the bedroom, others are just steps away from the Duomo.  

This guide shares similarities to the post I wrote on the best Rome hotels with a Colosseum view.

If it’s your first-time visiting Milan, don’t forget to check out my Milan travel tips. It’s a useful resource that’ll help you plan your Italy trip right.  

Why visit Milan Duomo? 

Milan Cathedral is a striking gothic cathedral located in the heart of Milan. 

The third-largest church in the world, it covers an area of 12,000SM and can accommodate up to 40,000 people. 

Unsurprisingly, the Duomo di Milano is an attraction that features on many people's Italy bucket list.

Construction began in 1386, but it was completed over 500 years later in 1965. The cathedral's facade is made of white marble, and its spires, statues, and intricate carvings are mesmerizing in person.  

Its interior is equally impressive, with brilliant stained-glass windows, ornate altars and a gleaming golden altarpiece. 

Milan’s Duomo is also home to several important artworks. They include Marco d'Agrate’s marble statue of Saint Bartholomew and a painting of the Crucifixion by Giovanni Battista Crespi. 

Why should you tour Milan’s Duomo? 

Undeniably, one of the Duomo’s best features is its rooftop terrace. We booked skip-the-line tickets to tour the Duomo and to climb to the top. 

I guarantee it’s one of the best things to do in Milan and one you should consider booking yourself. 

At the top, you’re rewarded with panoramic views of Milan, and on a good day, the surrounding Alps. Take the stairs or the elevator to the top to see the towers, spires, and statues up close. 

Today, the Duomo di Milano doesn’t just represent one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions. It also stands as a symbol of Milan's rich history and culture.  

12 best Milan hotels with Duomo views 

1. Amabilia Suites Milano  

Facing onto Piazza Duomo and the fabulous cathedral is Amabilia Suites Milano. Inside are 4 suites located on the top floor of Palazzo Carminati, a building dating to the 19th century. 

Each room at Amabilia Suites Milano is decorated in a style that evokes the elegance and flair associated with Milan.  

Step inside

Wake up to unrivalled views of the Milan Duomo by booking the exquisite Montenapoleone Suite.  

Comfortably sleeping 2 people, the suite’s window faces directly onto the gothic cathedral. Other facilities include complimentary WiFi, natural bath products and a Nespresso coffee machine. 

The suite’s named after one of Milan’s most luxurious spots: Via Monte Napoleone. Together with Via Manzoni, Via della Spiga and Corso Venezia, they make up Milan’s famous, and expensive, shopping quarter. 

Breakfast isn’t included at Amabilia Suites Milano but this isn’t a problem. Given its location in Milan’s center, there are plenty of good places to get a good Italian breakfast.  

What makes Amabillia Suites Milano one of the best Milan hotels with Duomo views is the price. It’s not as high as you might expect for this area of Milan.  

However, I wouldn’t recommend it for travelers on a budget. There’s other budget-friendly accommodation outside the center that will be better suited. 

The independent hotel also has a location in Venice, the equally fabulous Amabilia Venezia.

The Glamore Milano Duomo is in the same building as Terrazza Duomo 21 restaurant. It's ideal for having an aperitivo in Milan before going for dinner. Granted it’s pricier than having drinks outside the city center, but it’s worth it for just one night.

5. SCF Collection – Duomo 

Simple, clean accommodation overlooking the Duomo doesn’t get any better than SCF Collection – Duomo.  

While the hotel calls itself a ‘boutique hotel’ I’d classify it more as an aparthotel. Inside each apartment is a kitchen, dining area, WiFi and toiletries.   

To ensure you get a room with a Duomo view book the ‘Suite with City view’. The other room type available only has an internal view. 

There’s no breakfast in SCF Collection – Duomo but there are tons of places to get some nearby. Alternatively, you can buy breakfast items and keep them in the apartment’s kitchen.

How does a boutique design hotel housed in a 19th century historical building sound? It's the setting of the fabulous Room Mate Giulia, a hotel that combines modern living with vintage décor.

Design features in the room include touch lighting, a magnifying mirror and furniture designed by Spanish industrial designer Patricia Urquiola.  

A wide breakfast range — including detox juices, sweet or savory items — is served until noon. It’s great news if you’re a late riser.

10. Maison Milano | UNA Esperienze 

Luxury and elegance overlooking the Duomo di Milano is the strapline at Maison Milano | UNA Esperienze.

• Superior room 
• Deluxe room

One feature I particularly like about Maison Milano | UNA Esperienze is that breakfast is served in your room.  

The hotel also takes into consideration any dietary concerns and will make breakfast to suit your needs.

Room types range from City double rooms all the way to the Executive Junior Suite. Personally, I’d book to stay in the Gallery room. It sleeps 2 people, and as its name suggests, the room overlooks the magnificent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.  

Where the suites surpass the standard rooms are not just in size but also in detail. The Junior Suite is set out on 2 levels and is fitted with a Turkish bath. Not a bad way to end your day in Milan. 

The Executive Junior Suite on the other hand has 2 connecting bedrooms, queen-size beds and a fitness corner. Accommodating 5 guests, it’s a good choice for families or for anyone traveling in larger groups.  

During the warmer months, enjoy the sunshine and the shisha lounge on Terrazza Aria. Enjoy an aperitivo at the hotel’s G Bar before heading for dinner in its signature Le Noir restaurant. 

One of the best hotels near the Duomo in Milan, consider adding Sina the Gray to your ‘maybe’ list.
