; Via X Giornate 20; s €100-150, d €150-170, ste €250; )
Given
this grand 1938 hotel's chandeliers, extravagant ballrooms and luxurious guest rooms,
resting your head here represents unexpectedly good value. After sweeping through the
grand hall and public spaces, which drip with marble and walnut, you'll see the rooms
have a restrained elegance and mostly enjoy plenty of natural light.
Cremona
Albergo Duomo€

; Via Gonfalonieri 13; s/d €60/85; )
Just a few steps
from Cremona's cathedral and ablaze with wrought-iron flower boxes in spring, Albergo
Duomo was given a complete overhaul in 2013 and now offers decent rooms with con-
temporary flair than you can usually expect for this price. It's even better value when you
consider the location.

Delle Arti Design Hotel €€
DESIGN HOTEL
( 0372 2 31 31;

; Via Bonomelli 8; s/d from €109/139; )
This rather self-con-
sciously hi-tech vision of glass, concrete and steel has rotating displays of more contem-
porary paintings and photographs, a Turkish bath, gym and suitably chic rooms with clean
lines, bold colours and artistic lighting. For those who want to feel like they never left the
fashion crowd in Milan, this could be the place.
