There are plenty of incredible hotels in Milan, but if you want to experience the finest opulence coupled with one-of-a-kind hospitality, there is nowhere better than the Bulgari Hotel. First, I’ll touch on the food, since it really is something special. Il Ristorante, led by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito, has some of the most amazing Italian I have ever had. The risotto, glazed roast lamb, and linguine with lobster are exceptional. Not to mention the lush gardens, a private courtyard, and a spa that offers the ultimate indulgent experiences. The guest rooms have framed sketches of Bulgari jewels, and the suites have curated collections of art and design books. —Vanessa von Bismarck
