Grand Hotel et de Milan

Grand Hotel et de Milan has no golf course, and golf is not among the hotel's services; it stands in the city centre on Via Manzoni.

For a round near the city, the reference is Golf Club Le Rovedine at Noverasco di Opera, about 8 km from central Milan according to the club. Founded in 1976, it has an 18-hole, par-72 course of 6,259 metres and a 9-hole, par-27 executive course of 836 metres, set in a 650,000 m² park. It has hosted the 52nd Italian Open (men) and the 27th Italian Women's Open. It also welcomes non-members for green fees and lessons, and the practice area has 100 stations, 60 of them covered and lit.

The hotel was founded in 1863 and occupies a 19th-century building with layouts that differ from room to room. There are 95 rooms: 72 rooms and 23 suites or junior suites, in nineteenth-century, Art Deco or Art Nouveau style according to the MICHELIN Guide, which also notes the marble floors and Oriental rugs in the public rooms.

The name tying it to the city is Giuseppe Verdi, who lived and composed here for 27 years. The Presidential Suite bears his name and, per the MICHELIN Guide, Suite 105 is the room where the maestro lived and died. Twelve more suites honour famous guests, among them Maria Callas, Enrico Caruso, Luchino Visconti and Rudolf Nureyev. La Scala is, says the hotel, 674 steps away.

Don Carlos is the hotel's tribute to Verdi: executive chef Francesco Potenza, from Campania, blends classic and contemporary. The walls carry portraits and sketches from the La Scala museum, and operatic arias play in the room. It serves dinner Tuesday to Saturday, 7.30 to 10.30 pm, and was selected by the MICHELIN Guide 2025.

Caruso Nuovo Bistrot has a menu designed by chef Gennaro Esposito and interiors restyled by Dimorestudio. Gerry's Bar, open daily from 10 am to midnight, is the historic room frequented, says the hotel, by Visconti and Richard Burton.

The address is Via Manzoni 29, in the Montenapoleone district, 674 steps from La Scala according to the hotel. It has parking and valet service and belongs to The Leading Hotels of the World. Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out by noon.
