Milan's First Doubletree Does Indeed Have Cookies

There are usually three reasons to visit Milan: on business, on vacation or for fashion. But it sounds like there are only two reasons to stay at the new Doubletree by Hilton Milan: on business or for Expo 2015, because it’s smack-bang in the northern business district of Milan and surrounded by fair grounds.

This Doubletree is a bit special, not for the usual cookie-related reasons, but because it’s the first Doubletree in continental Europe. The group is already stocking up on hotels in the UK and so Europe seems to be the next target.

Fitting with our image of hip Milan, this hotel sounds edgy enough to suit, with a glass and wood exterior and 240 rooms that are meant to be stylish enough to fit too.

Doubletree’s regularly promoting the fact that this hotel will be perfectly located for the Expo 2015. But um, don't you think that's a little too far off to be promoting Doubletree? It's not the Olympics here. It's just some world fair, which doesn't even garner live streaming from NBC.

Whatever their reasons, we just wanted to make sure that the Italian Doubletrees will still be handing out cookies. And they will, so we’re happy.
