RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT MILANO LINATE, Milan

The residence is well-placed for a stay combining suburban calm with quick central access. A 15-minute walk reaches the Lambrate metro station, and from there it is a 4-stop ride to Piazza Duomo. For airport connections, the hotel recommends taking the MXP Express from Milan Malpensa to Milano Centrale, then tram 5 to Via Ortica, or a direct taxi. The area is quiet and calm, with limited immediate dining options; three restaurants (Galeria Antica Trattoria, Da Gastone, La Sidreria) are within a 0.5 km walk. The property itself is in a newly built environment, with all work completed as of early 2026. For drivers, the on-site garage offers convenient parking with electric charging.

All units are thoroughly modern and clean, built to a high standard. The rooms are notably spacious, especially the apartments which include a separate living area and a fully equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and all necessary cookware. Beds are large and comfortable, with high-quality mattresses, and bathrooms are well-appointed with bidet, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Upper-floor rooms offer city views and natural light. Soundproofing is excellent, ensuring a quiet stay even in the residential area. Some apartments additionally feature a terrace. Each room includes a work desk, seating area, dining table, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, minibar, and tea/coffee facilities. The bathroom has a shower, and accessible rooms are available with grab rails and lowered sinks.

Breakfast is a well-regarded abundant buffet featuring fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese, fruits, and juice, with hot scrambled eggs and a variety of options. The coffee shop in the lobby offers a 24/7 automated coffee machine. For dinner, the snack bar and bar provide light options, but the fullest dining alternative is the restaurant in the sister hotel next door, which serves evening meals. The kitchenette in each room - with a full set of cookware, a stovetop, and a dishwasher - also allows guests to prepare their own meals. Fruits and wine/champagne are available for an additional charge.

The fitness centre is a clean, modern facility with a good range of equipment - described by some as 'snazzy' - and is free for all guests. While the hotel itself does not house a pool or spa, the surrounding Lambrate district offers outdoor activities such as kayaking and canoeing for those interested in water sports. The peaceful residential setting also makes the area suitable for casual walks or runs.
