The question is what is the best 5 star hotel, for the value, and for proximity (perhaps even walking distance) to the Convention Centre.
only an oncologst could attempt to compare 3 variables.
i have done the Fiera Milano Congressi, for fiera. not certain where the convention center part is located. the fiera is immense(largest in italy). although not that far out of milan, it is in the middle of nowhere. one would have to taxi to get to just about anything other than the fiera if one stayed there.
we stay in a very nice small **** botique hotel, that is considered 5* under the italian system. pierre milano. has about 50 rooms. would probably prefer staying in center city, but we found this place years ago, and always return.
