Photo of Andreola CentralThe exquisite Hotel Andreola Central is just one of the many historic 4-star hotels in Milan that launched when the Central train station moved to its present location. The hotel’s prominent location in Via Scarletti, is set in the old station’s Galleria delle Carrozze. It is a prime local for those who want a stay in a magnificent setting with plenty of shopping right in their hotel. Many celebrated people agree, such as many Italian soccer stars, boxer Primo Carnera and bicyclist Faust Coppi, that Andreola is one of the best places to be in Milan.

Although the hotel has been open many years it just recently, as of 2000, went under the hammer for a complete makeover. It took nearly two years to complete, with extended efforts to keep the historic structural elements of the hotel intact. The wait was well worth it because the revamped hotel now features 85 spectacular rooms and 4 meeting rooms. The completely reorganized hotel also plays host to a restaurant of gastronomical delight, the Stradivari.

Andreola Central caters to tourists, locals and businessmen alike with ease. The hotel decidedly rose above many other 4 star hotels in Milan and customer service, along side the makeover, is some of the best in the city.

The lovely hotel, with its spraying fountains and vaulted glass ceilings is now featuring a special offer that differs from many other hotels same old-same old holiday offers. From now through January 6, 2008 guests can book a stay under the “Weekend a Milano to visit Poldi Pezzoli Museum” for a mere 180EUR. This low rate includes 2 nights stay, a delicious breakfast to jump start your day and two adult tickets to the best museum in Milan.
