The Best Boutique Hotels For Families in Lombardy in 2026

The Baglioni brand is well-regarded in Italy, for good reason, but we think Casa Baglioni Milan feels fresher than their other offerings. There’s a simple kind of style here, which we like a lot. More beautiful panels and clever lighting than a large chandelier and carved marble. With the Baglioni brand comes excellent service and top-notch amenities, including a restaurant led by a Michelin-starred chef. Those seeking historical intrigue or extravagant opulence may prefer elsewhere. Casa Baglioni is relatively modern, and it’s sophisticated, confident, and impeccably executed.

This waterfront beauty overlooks the Naviglio Grande, Milan’s oldest and most famous canal. It’s an old building, first constructed in the 1700s, but with plenty of modernity keeping things comfortable. The rosy façade facing the still water is decidedly romantic, but it’s not the only reason we recommend Maison Borella. No, we find it knows what a small European boutique hotel in a less than central location should be about. We’re talking intimacy, character, personality. The decor doesn’t feel beholden to any era; here we are offered a quite eclectic,… > Read Our Full Review

This super central Milan boutique hotel, about two minutes walk from the Duomo, shows Room Mate’s Collection at its very best.

It draws a cool crowd too. Dress your… > Read Our Full Review

Vico Milano is an intimate (just 7 rooms!) boutique hotel in the heart of Ticinese, Milan’s most bohemian neighbourhood The atmosphere is different here, in a good way. Furnishings are distinctive, they don’t like too much predictable here. Yet it’s always somehow homey, more like the eclectically decorated home of a Milanese fashion family than a swish hotel. The Speakeasy is Vico Milano is their bar and restaurant. It’s small in size but big in reputation. It’s a well-known spot that arguably outshines the hotel itself.

Crossing Manzoni lies right between two Milan icons. The iconic Teatro alla Scala, and Via Montenapoleone, the heart of Milan’s fashion district and allegedly the most expensive shopping street in the world. It is ultra-chic Milan apartment vibes through and through. The building is a Neoclassical treasure, the interiors made fresh with crisp contemporary design. So, an apart-hotel, we will say; guests are granted some cross-pollination among the squishy ottomans and curvy chairs of the common areas. It’s also still hotel enough to have one of the best concierges around…. > Read Our Full Review
