We had a wonderful stay at Petite Palais Hotel in Milan and truly enjoyed our experience. The highlight of this hotel is its exceptional staff. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. A special thank you to Marianna at the reception; her friendly and smiling service made our stay even better. The only downside was parking. There isn't a nearby parking facility, and the closest option is about a 10 to 15-minute walk away. On our last day, it rained, which made a bit difficult. It would be a great improvement if there were a more convenient parking solution for guests traveling by car. Aside from that, everything exceeded our expectations, and we'd gladly stay at Petite Palace Hotel again.

I was greatly underwhelmed by this hotel. Our rooms were extremely old with layers of dust on lampshades and fabric. There was an odor to the room. The worst part was the noise. There must be a hospital close by as ambulance after ambulance was rushing by along with the street traffic made it very hard to sleep. The TV never worked when we were there, although the staff was kind to try to fix it. On a positive note, it is just across the street from the metro.
One of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in Milan. Everything was flawless, from the service to the location. A special thank you to Mariana, an exceptional hotel manager whose care and professionalism made our stay unforgettable.
We had a wonderful two night stay here. The rooms are nicely decorated and quite comfortable. In room breakfast was delicious. This was our third time staying here, and we will certainly return on our next trip to Milan. Highly recommended.
I have been traveling the world for over 50 years, and one of my deepest concerns has been the gradual erasure of charm from hotels. Modern standardization has stripped many places of their individuality, replacing history and character with sterile, interchangeable rooms. When I travel, I make a conscious effort to stay in hotels that honor their heritage and allow me to feel connected to the city’s past, rather than those rushing to conform to a modern, uniform aesthetic. With that philosophy in mind—and without restricting myself by budget—I chose to stay at the Petit Palais du Charm in Milan, fully aware that a historic property may not be “perfect” in the conventional sense, nor in every physical detail relative to its price point. I was fortunate to visit during the week before Christmas, when both the hotel and the city were filled with a warm, festive ambiance. The reviews I read beforehand were, by and large, accurate. For my wife and me, our stay was deeply meaningful—personal, warm, and genuinely delightful, despite being a bit quirky at times. The hotel’s small staff created an intimate, welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel truly cared for in this tired yet still welcoming palazzo. Its location allows for easy walking access to all major sights, and the history of the building is extraordinary, having once been part of a 17th century convent complex which sat along a canal that disappeared nearly a century ago. I was not disappointed in any way. Our stay was truly delightful and embodied the very definition of a hotel de charme—something increasingly rare and deeply appreciated.
