The train arrived in Milan in the evening of our last full day in Europe. Since we were flying out of Malpensa I had booked a hotel close to the airport. For those of you staying in Milan and flying out of Malpensa, the airport is outside the city and a long and expensive taxi ride away. If you have an early morning flight like we did I would suggest staying at a hotel close to the airport. You can sleep in later and avoid the hassle of fighting traffic on the way to the airport.
We stayed at the Malpensa Holiday Inn Express but there are other options as well like the Sheraton which is right in the terminal or the Crowne Plaza which is close by like the Holiday Inn Express.
The Holiday Inn Express has large rooms and a full breakfast that was included. The best part was that there is a shuttle to the terminals which leaves the hotel every 30 minutes. The same shuttle accommodates the Crowne Plaza. All of these made for a relaxing morning as we slept in later,had a large breakfast and when we were ready caught the shuttle to the terminal.
One other thing to note. There were 3 of us in the room and the staff was very accommodating by bringing up extra blankets and pillows.
Staying at the airport is a great way to start or end a trip. If you are beginning a trip find an airport hotel that also includes parking for the length of your trip. It will save you a lot of money that you can use on the trip.
