Suspicious Security But Free Mini Bar at AC Milano

Where: Via Tazzoli 2, Milan, Italy, 20154

A hotel next to a cemetery ... it doesn't start out with the best of impressions (unless you want to stay next to the dead center of town ... ha, ha), but the Hotel AC Milano gets better the more you read of a recent NYT review.

The Milan AC (part of a chain named after the founder, Antonio Catalán) just opened last October but sounds like a good place to stay particularly if you're going to Milan to shop. It's located very close to Via Maroncelli, a popular shopping area.

With a pretty sleek design, to be expected in Milan, and a decent room service menu, and a minibar stocked with beer and soft drinks that are already included in the room price, there's nothing really wrong with this hotel. The reviewer did find one problem, though:

At midnight, when I returned to the hotel without my key card, the front desk gave me a new one without asking anything except my room number. (I could have been a criminal; more likely, I could have gotten the number confused and walked in on another guest.).

But since you're next to the cemetery, you should probably be more afraid of ghosts than room crashers.
