One of the newest luxury openings in the centre, Tivoli President Milano is a full redesign of the former NH Collection Milano President, and it opened in 2026 as the third Italian property of the Tivoli brand. It stands on Largo Augusto in the San Babila district, about five minutes on foot from the Duomo and at the edge of the Quadrilatero della Moda, which makes it one of the most convenient addresses for first-time visitors who want to shop, sightsee and eat without relying on transport. The hotel has 239 rooms, including 60 suites, and six of the suites have direct views of the Duomo. At the top of the range, the 150-square-metre Presidential Suite is paired with a panoramic rooftop. A Technogym fitness centre has opened, while a wellness area developed with Starpool and a first-floor restaurant overlooking Largo Augusto with Duomo views were announced as arriving after the opening, together with public events such as music-led aperitifs. Because the hotel is new and facilities are still being rolled out, it is worth checking what is open on your dates. For travellers who like fresh interiors and a central location, the combination is attractive, and because it is a larger hotel it offers more room variety than the small boutique properties nearby.
The location is the main asset. San Babila is a busy metro junction, and Largo Augusto is a lively, urban setting rather than a hushed lane. You are within walking distance of the Duomo, the Galleria and the high-end shops of Via Montenapoleone, and the metro puts the Sforza Castle, Centrale and Porta Nuova a short ride away. Light sleepers should ask for a room away from the street.
Living in it
As a recently redesigned hotel, the rooms and public spaces should feel fresh, and a larger scale means more room categories, from standard rooms to suites with Duomo views. If the cathedral view matters, request a room in the category that offers it and confirm availability, since only a handful have direct views. Facilities such as the wellness area and the restaurant were still being introduced after opening, so check that the ones you want are available for your stay.
Who it suits
First-time visitors, couples, and shoppers who want a modern luxury base next to the Duomo. It is priced at the upper end, and rates climb during fashion weeks and Design Week. If you prefer a historic grand hotel, the Principe di Savoia offers heritage, and if you want a smaller boutique feel, the Milano Scala in Brera is a calmer alternative.
