The alternative of staying in Milan and getting up VERY early to get to Malpensa for an AM flight is not at all attractive. There is another Marriott brand alternative @ MXP - the Moxy - and it is cheaper but requires taking a bus to get to the terminal. The Sheraton is by far the best choice.
During the walk make sure to stop and see the words inscribed on the walkway.
“tutti i passi che ho fatto nella mia vita mi hanno portato qui, ora”
“every step I have taken in my life has led me here, now,”
How far is the main section of Milan from the airport? We'll be wanting to go out to dinner the night before and see a little bit of Milan when we arrive the day before our flight. Is there a subway/train that goes from the airport to the town/city?
