HOTEL:

MANDARIN ORIENTAL, MILAN: Emanuel points to beautiful touches of Oriental design and hospitality, an unadulterated home fragrance, contemporary rooms and premium service.

RESTAURANTS:

GIOLINA: for a wood-fired pizza lunch.

SETA: the two-Michelin star restaurant within the Mandarin appeals for its nine-course Chef’s Table menu.

AALTO: another Michelinstar venue, Emanuel says the modern take on Milano staples is divine.

CULTURE:

DUOMO: This grand Cathedral is the centerpiece of Milan, it’s elaborate, impressive and a can’t-miss.

PIAZZA DEL DUOMO: Designer stores flank the main square of Milan, meaning fashion is never out of reach. Even if you’re window shopping, a walk around this square gives you a true sense of place in Milan
