DoubleTree by Hilton Milan Malpensa, near Le Robinie Golf Club & Resort. As per today's Hilton website it opens on February 14.
"Overlooking Le Robinie Golf Course, our hotel is 15 minutes from Malpensa Airport with quick access to regional highways. The stunning scenery and resort towns of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como are within 90 minutes."
While the airport is at 15 minutes, the centre of Milano is 40 km or about 40 minutes away by car.
Museo MA*GA, the Gallarate Art Museum (at 10 km) looks to be worth a visit.
The hotel opens tonight. Located next to a golf resort and the Italy NATO Rapid Deployment Corps HQ. Think those will attract much of their businness. Parking is free. Bargain rates at the moment in the 100-125 euro region, August lower, points between 20-40k. Could be an excellent location if you plan to visit that area of Northern Italy and want to use your points or score Hilton nights and enjoy a free breakfast. Though I've seen a number of B&Bs in that price range (or lower), that will most likely offer a more authentic experience.
Still, 5 nights at 80k points in August... but that would be the basic, no view room-type.
